Most amendments offered by House Democrats to a GOP-backed voter ID bill were being rejected Wednesday by the Republican majority. That included such proposed changes as allowing voters without a photo ID to sign a affidavit affirming their identify. Republican sponsors of the voter ID bill argued against the exemption, insisting that it ran counter to their desire to have most Texans prove their identify with a photo ID before being allowed to vote. The affidavit amendment was rejected along partisan lines on a 99-48 vote.
