This Jackson Free Press reports the first test of the photo ID law will be in the GOP primary. The campaign includes commercials and outreach to political parties and other civic and local government groups.
Of the voter ID awareness campaign, Hosemann told reporters Monday that his office is airing two 30-second TV commercials—one that started Monday and one that starts in January. Hosemann said he and his staff also are speaking to political parties, civic clubs, religious organizations, city and county elected officials, and other groups that are in touch with local communities. He said he’s asking them to help share information about the new law and to help find people who lack an acceptable form of photo ID.“We are going to take great pains to reach everyone,” Hosemann said Monday during a news conference at the Capitol.
