In Missouri, media reports indicate ..

The Missouri House endorsed a proposed constitutional amendment
yesterday that is designed to help resurrect a requirement that voters
show government-issued photo identification to cast ballots.

Rep. Stanley Cox, who is sponsoring the constitutional amendment in
the House, said requiring a photo ID to vote would help to protect
Missouri elections by combatting voter fraud. He said while lawmakers
should be looking for ways to make it easier to vote, it also is
important to make it harder for people to cheat at the polls.

“If you cheat, you water down our votes,” said Cox, R-Sedalia. “You deny us the right to vote.”

The proposed constitutional amendment would
appear on a 2012 ballot.
