“House committee Missouri voter photo ID measures pass House committee”

AP:

A Missouri House committee approved a pair of measures Tuesday aimed at requiring government-issued photo identification to vote.

A similar ID law was struck down in 2006, with the Missouri Supreme Court saying it violated state residents’ constitutional right to vote. So, Republicans plan to turn the question to voters. One measure approved Tuesday would ask voters to amend the Missouri Constitution to allow photo ID requirements. The other bill would establish the legal framework for implementing such requirements.
