NPC plans event on new state voter identification laws, Thurs. Feb. 23, 10 a.m.

Laura Murphy, director of the Washington legislative office of the American Civil Liberties Union, and Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow and manager of the Civil Justice Reform Initiative in the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation, plan to speak at a National Press Club Newsmaker at 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, in the NPC's Zenger Room.

Murphy and Spakovsky plan to discuss the actual and potential impact of various U.S. state voter identification laws, many of which have only recently been passed and which require photo identification for voters to be able to cast their ballots.
