Schultz, a Republican, spoke at Cecil's Cafe Friday afternoon to the Pachyderm Club a Republican social group and said he intends to push a bill requiring photo identification during next year's legislative session.
"You have to show an ID before you get on an airplane, you have to show an ID before you open a checking account, and if you like beer you have to show ID before you buy a beer so why not when you vote?" Schultz said.
The National Conference of State Legislatures reported in July that 14 states require photo ID to vote and 16 others require a non-photo ID to do so. Iowa requires neither.
