A heated exchange over voter identification put Maine’s U.S. Senate race under the spotlight Tuesday, after Republican Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic challenger Troy Jackson delivered sharply contrasting answers during a rapid-fire portion of their debate.

Jackson, the Democratic nominee, gave an immediate rejection of the idea and pointed to his own experience as a working logger.
