Strike Three for Delbert?

Today Delbert Scott announced that if adding additional burdens to vote is unconstitutional, then, by golly, he’s just going to change the constitution [1]! This would be his third attempt to make it harder for eligible Missouri voters to vote.

Last year, Delbert pushed through his highly controversial photo ID to vote scheme by using a rarely-used procedural maneuver [2] in the middle of the night of the last day of legislative session to shut down debate. He also took it upon himself to punish his colleagues [3] in the Senate who didn’t agree with him by stripping away Missourians’ option to vote a straight party ticket [4].

Earlier this week, Delbert was called out [5] for filing the identical photo ID bill language as the one ruled unconstitutional just last year, wasting time and taxpayer money on this sad cause he just won’t give up.
