This November, six states — including three that routinely decide presidential elections — will ask their citizens to weigh in directly on voter identification requirements, the largest such convergence in American electoral history. The question at the heart of each measure is ancient and unresolved: how does a democracy balance the integrity of its processes against the breadth of its participation? Whatever voters decide, the answers will travel well beyond state lines, shaping the national conversation about who belongs in the electorate and on what terms.
