“Senate passes bill to require voters to show photo ID”

See this news from Kansas. Meanwhile, a report from the Missouri Secretary of State finds “it is particularly noteworthy that the type of voter fraud allegedly prevented by photo ID — voter impersonation at the polls –was not reported as a problem in Missouri. At the time of this report, no such cases from anywhere in the state had been reported to the Secretary of State’s office. Although there were no reports of voter impersonation or voting fraud, there were isolated incidents of alleged registration fraud that were reported in advance of the 2006 general election. Allegations of fraudulent voter registration cards surfaced and were investigated in St. Louis and Kansas City, and three individuals were indicted in Kansas City for alleged registration fraud, one of whom pleaded guilty. Such examples of investigation and prosecution of voter registration fraud are evidence that the safeguards in place in Missouri are working.” The secretary did find lots of confusion over i.d. requirements that had been struck down by the courts.
