DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit chapter of the NAACP continues to fight a new state law requiring Michigan voters to show identification at the polls.

The civil rights group says the voter ID law wasn't properly implemented because there were no public hearings. The Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press report that an NAACP complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Justice claims the law violates the Voting Rights Act and will decrease minority voting.

State elections officials say voters will have to show photo ID or sign a statement saying they don't have one before they can get a ballot on November 6th.

Although the state passed the law in 1996, former State Attorney General Frank Kelley never enforced it because he thought it violated the 14th Amendment.
