MO House Committee passes photo ID legislation, constitutional amendment language

The Missouri House is set to again consider legislation that would require voters to show photo identification at the polls. In an 8-4 vote today, the House Elections Committee agreed to send the proposal to the full chamber. 

…The state Supreme Court struck down a 2006 photo ID law before it went
into effect, and the GOP-controlled Legislature’s efforts to push
through a similar requirement in 2011 fizzled with a gubernatorial veto
and a court challenge. Lawmakers also proposed, but failed to pass, a
photo ID bill last year. This session, Republicans have returned to
Jefferson City with veto-proof majorities in both the House and Senate
and are pushing the effort again.
