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.
