Montana
This pending legislation was passed in 2014 by a Republican controlled legislature, the LR-126 referendum is being placed on the November 2014 ballot to be voted on by citizens of Montana.
The referendums decides whether to end Election Day registration, effectively surpassing their Governor. Election Day registration has aided over 28,000 Montana residents in registering over the previous 9 years.
Democratic Governor Steve Bullock has vetoed numerous bills calling to rescind of Election Day registration, considering the applications immeasurably insensitive to voter rights.
In 2013, he maintained that his administration & the legislature were beholden by the principles of voter's freedom to make an ample effort to guarantee "that every Montanan can vote -- not doing everything we can to prevent them from voting."
Nebraska
In 2013, the Republican controlled state legislature voted in favor of bill LB271. LB271 condenses early voting from 35 to 30 days. Legislators compromised on 30 days after the preliminary proposition of 25 days failed to gain overall support due to concerns about disabled voter's difficulties using the AutoMark voting machines.
Secretary of State John Gale was a chief proponent of LB271 and viewed this measure as necessary to verify that Nebraska's voting machines were in superior operational condition, ballots were secure, impartially processed & calculated accurately without prejudice.
New Hampshire
New Hampshire, one of the only North-Eastern swing states instituted a photo ID law in 2012. Amendments to the law made less types of photo ID's acceptable as well as requiring affidavit users to take a photograph at the polling station.
The state allows affidavits in lieu of a photo ID. In 2013, Democrats voted on changes to the law, allowing expired ID's to be used by the elderly over 65, and permitting students ID's as a satisfactory form of ID.
