DENVER (AP) -- A long-debated requirement that voters show their photo IDs when they cast ballots is up before lawmakers again in Colorado.
The measure faces a hurdle in the House Tuesday but is expected to advance. Republicans control the chamber and generally support the idea.
Democrats fear the change could make it harder for people who don't have driver's licenses to cast their ballots.
A photo ID requirement in Texas was rejected by the Department of Justice on Monday. That state has a history of discrimination and must get federal approval for changing voting rules..
Last year, a photo ID voter bill passed the Republican House but was defeated in the Democratic Senate.
