In a bipartisan move, Nevada’s Democratic-controlled Legislature has passed a last-minute bill supported by the Republican governor that will require photo ID to vote in person. It’s a longtime Republican priority that Democrats have long opposed, including during the last legislative session. But Democratic Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager brokered the deal with Gov. Joe Lombardo in exchange for expanded mail ballot drop boxes. Yeager called it a tough but necessary concession because of time constraints and recent voter support for the measure. The compromise represents a form of bipartisan dealmaking that has been especially scarce in recent years as the country’s political divisions have deepened, especially around any potential reform to voting and election laws.
