News: City takes another shot at voter ID requirement

This article in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune examines the issue of voter ID requirements, and quotes Chris Ott, Communications Manager for the ACLU of Massachusetts. Advocates say checking IDs is necessary to prevent voter fraud.

The ACLU's position is that there is little to no real evidence of fraud being committed, and that requiring an ID just prevents and discourages people from exercising a fundamental right.
