Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant signed legislation today requiring voters to show photo identification at all elections. The constitutional amendment was approved by 62% of Mississippi voters last year. Much like in Tennessee, those without the proper ID can apply for a free voter ID.
“This legislation is about protecting the integrity of Mississippi’s elections,” Bryant said. “This legislation is a direct result of the majority of Mississippians expressing their desire for a constitutional voter ID requirement in the state. We want everyone to participate in the election process, and we want that process to be fair and secure.”
