TOPEKA | Stephanie Mott has an unusual problem with a proposal that would require Kansans to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a photo ID every Election Day.

Her birth certificate says "Steven," but her driver's license reads "Stephanie."

The transsexual Topeka woman fears her vote could be declared invalid if the state adopts a stringent new voter ID law. "These are the kinds of things that cause people not to vote," Mott told lawmakers considering the proposal Wednesday. "People like me would be left out."
