A national group which claims to fight voter suppression is targeting a Nebraska state senator.
Let America Vote has added Senator John Murante to its Hall of Shame for sponsoring voter ID legislation.
Let America Vote founder Jason Kander, a Democrat, charges Republicans have used voter suppression methods to keep Democrats from the polls. . .

Kander opposes voter ID measures.
Murante rejects the criticism, saying he will continue to push for a constitutional amendment requiring Nebraskans to display an ID to cast a ballot. . .

Murante insists voter security can be increased without keeping registered voters away.
