The NY Times offers this front-page report, which begins: “The battle over voting rights will expand this week as lawmakers in Missouri are expected to support a proposed constitutional amendment to enable election officials to require proof of citizenship from anyone registering to vote.”
This is an important story, but there’s a detail here that shouldn’t be lost on those who have been following the election administration wars. Thor Hearne’s American Center for Voting Rights is back, with no explanation as to how it can return as mysteriously as it disappeared.
UPDATE: Apparently the reference to ACVR was out-of-date. The reference has been removed from the story, with Hearne now described simply as:”a lawyer from Missouri who has been a strong advocate for voter ID laws.”
