Only five Democratic state senators had a chance to vote on Wisconsin's voter ID bill before Republican Sen. Michael Ellis gaveled it through Thursday.

The bill, which passed on a 19-5 vote, would require that voters present a photo ID before voting.

Opponents of the bill say it infringes on the rights on minorities who are less likely to have a photo ID.

"There is some racism in this bill," Democratic state Sen. Spencer Coggs reportedly said.
