West Virginians will now need a valid photo identification to vote. While some call the change common sense, others view it as voter suppression. Gov. Patrick Morrisey and Attorney General JB McCuskey argue the legislation was needed to uphold election integrity and prevent voter fraud. “No photo ID, no vote,” Morrisey said. “That’s why today I’m proud to have a ceremonial signing of House Bill 3016 which requires a valid photo ID to vote in West Virginia.” Morrisey noted 13 voter fraud cases in the last five years, but could link none of them to the problem use of previously approved identification such as utility bills or voter registration cards without a picture. “The day after the election happens they will know that only West Virginians and only eligible West Virginia voters took part in that election,” McCuskey said.
