Why the Side with Love Team opposes the Voter ID ballot measure

 

•   Nebraska’s elections are already secure and efficient. There is no problem to fix, yet the proposed constitutional amendment to restrict voting is estimated to initially cost nearly $3 million to implement and $1 million annually to enforce.

•   The proposed constitutional amendment would make early voting by mail more difficult.

•   The proposed constitutional amendment makes it harder for everyone to vote, and especially impacts person’s with disabilities, the elderly and voters in rural counties with greater distances to travel, less reliable broadband and DMV’s with limited hours of operation.
