 State lawmakers are already at it today getting heated over a voter ID proposal.

The republican-backed proposal in the senate would require Texans to show a photoID before voting.

Right now, the senate has to have a two-thirds majority to consider a bill.

Now, leadership wants to change that.

They think a "supermajority" is far too much and kills important bills too early.

Despite all the uncertainty, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst thinks a voter ID compromise will be worked out.
