HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A Republican-led effort to require Pennsylvanians to show identification before they vote is continuing despite resistance from Democrats who say some people will be denied the right to vote.

A Senate State Government Committee on Monday lengthened the list of acceptable photo IDs in a bill the House approved in June.

The bill would have required voters to show a government-issued photo ID. It now would allow some expired government IDs, as well as IDs issued by accredited Pennsylvania colleges and universities and nursing and personal care homes.

Current law requires identification only from people voting in a polling place for the first time. Those forms of ID can include a firearms permit, a current utility bill, a bank statement or a paycheck that have a name and address.
