NASHVILLE (AP) — The group Tennessee Citizen Action is sponsoring a petition drive Saturday against the state's new voter ID law.

The group is asking citizens statewide to circulate the petition at any public place.

"Every signature gets us one step closer to a repeal," the group said in a statement sent to the media.

The law requires photo identification in order to vote.

Tennessee Citizen Action is a Nashville-based grass-roots group based on consumer concerns.
