PHOENIX - Gov. Janet Napolitano vetoed legislation Friday to bar some people who show up at the polls without identification from voting.
Napolitano said the measure, Senate Bill 1118, is illegal because it violates the federal Help America Vote Act. She said that "could result in properly registered Arizona citizens being denied the right to vote."
Republican Secretary of State Jan Brewer said the Democratic governor is wrong.
She said nothing in federal law requires that anyone who shows up at a poll without identification be given a ballot.
