AUTOMATED SUMMARY
Voters in Ohio and North Carolina approved constitutional amendments on Tuesday that place voter ID requirements in their state constitutions. Ohio's Issue 3 passed with about 66% of the vote, and North Carolina's amendment, which extends photo ID rules to mail and absentee voters, passed with about 60%.
In California, voters rejected a voter ID measure. Arkansas, Alaska, Kansas, South Dakota and West Virginia passed measures limiting voting to U.S. citizens, and Arizona's combined citizenship and voter ID measure was trailing with most votes counted. Supporters say the Ohio change will guard against noncitizen voting, while opponents argue it was unnecessary and could affect voters if proof of citizenship is required at the polls.
