VOTER PHOTO ID BILL MISGUIDED, UNNEEDED
Rep. Stanley Cox has convinced enough Missouri House members to support his misguided voter photo identification mandate. We must hope he is less successful if this measure goes before the state’s voters....
Rep. Chris Kelly, D-Columbia, was spot-on accurate when, during a Feb. 9 House Elections Committee hearing, he called Cox’s measure a “solution looking for a problem.”
...[T]he proposal now goes before the Missouri Senate and if it is approved, the constitutional amendment will go before voters in November. Our hope is that state senators will see how unnecessary and costly this measure is and strike it down before it ever gets to the ballot box.
