Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) on Friday vetoed a bill mandating residents of the state show a government-issued form of identification before voting.
In his veto message, Beshear hammered Republicans for trying to push legislation that would create an obstacle to voting and tackle a problem that does not exist, referring to GOP-fueled claims of voter fraud.
I am vetoing Senate Bill 2 because the provisions of the law would create an obstacle to the ability of Kentuckians to exercise their right to vote, resulting in fewer people voting and undermining our democracy. Furthermore, no documented evidence of recent voter fraud in the form of impersonation in Kentucky has been presented, Beshear, Kentuckys former attorney general, said.
Beshear went on to note that the legislation could put Kentuckians in harms way during the coronavirus crisis by forcing them to leave their homes to obtain the needed identification.
However, Beshears veto could be overridden since the bill was passed by supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature.

“calling it the ‘wrong move’”
Because it will make it hard for Democrats to cheat.
It is interesting that since it passed with supra majorities that was even eligible for a veto.
PS: Andy and his father Steve are corrupt to the bone. Always have been. Yet the name Beshear is the the ticket to elected office here. Sort of like the Kennedy’s in Mass.
I guess the voters think, “Sure he’s a SOB, but he’s my SOB”, to paraphrase FDR (he was referring to Samosa in Nicaragua at the time)
Beshear should be recalled or impeached for incompetence and treason.
The is absolutely no excuse for not requiring Voter ID. None.
ID is required to attend Democrat political meetings, for a driver's license, for work, for travel, to attend school. The only thing where it is not required is for voting.
Beshear should be in an orange jump suit awaiting trial for treason.
I guess I wonder how in the world does a person subsist in
the world
today without some form of ID. IDs such as Drivers License has a
photo. Even if you don’t drive you can still get an ID.
Why did I guess he was a democrat?
HELLO JUST US DEPT!! VOTE FRAUD WILL BE ONGOING! DO SOMETHING LAWFUL for a change!
Ballot harvesting!! a NEW WAY TO COMMIT VOTE FRAUD!
Is there an address where we can write a letter or email to the Kentucky State Legislature.
I would like to warn them that if they don’t override this veto they will VERY SOON be in the same position that we Conservatives here in California find ourselves in.
Being forever dominated by ILLEGAL votes for Democrats.
