Woot! Someone call the Missouri legislature and tell them to try again.
The libs in Missouri very smartly decided that Voter Photo ID was unconstitutional under the MISSOURI Constitution. Unless Congress mandates photo ID (never happen, even assuming it would be desirable) or the Missouri Court makeup changes, this decision will have little effect on them.
It has been a long time since I read that MO decision, so I don’t recall if the law could be re-crafted for a “less burdensome” law and get a different result. IIRC, though, the Rats now have that governorship anyway, so it wouldn’t likely get passed.
This is a great decision, though, and should clear the way for the Arizona law and similar ones that could follow. Significantly, the Arizona law requires proof of CITIZENSHIP, not just residency and identity.
Doesn’t California have a ballot initiative underway for Voter ID?
