House committee advances nationwide voter ID bill ahead of 2026 election showdown
The US House of Representatives is poised to vote on a nationwide voter ID bill, which would require photo identification for voters in all states by the 2026 midterm elections. The bill's advancement sets up a potential showdown during the 2026 election fight.
The House of Representatives is set to vote on a nationwide voter ID bill that would require photo identification for voters across the US in the 2026 midterm elections, setting up a contentious fight ahead of the election. The bill has been advanced by the House Rules Committee and is expected to come to the full House floor soon. If passed, it would impose strict voter ID requirements, potentially disenfranchising certain groups of voters. The legislation could have significant implications for the 2026 elections, with opponents warning of a potential erosion of voting rights.
