NASHVILLE (AP) - A proposal to allow people to cast early votes without a photo ID has failed in the House.

The measure sponsored by Democratic House Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh of Ripley would set up a system for photographing voters at the polling place instead of requiring them to provide government-issued photo identification.

The measure received seven votes in favor, but eight votes against in the House State and Local Government Committee on Tuesday.

A separate measure seeking to do away with the state's new photo ID law altogether was delayed for a week.
