Missouri Voter ID Challenged

Cole Co., Mo. (KFMO) - Voters in Missouri still have to show a photo ID if they want to cast a regular ballot, however voting rights advocates are suing to overturn the a Missouri law requiring voters to show a photo ID because they say getting the records needed to obtain proper photo identification can be challenging.

They say this is challenging especially for older voters and people with disabilities. But, Cole County Circuit Court Judge Jon Beetem has found the law constitutional.

Under Missouri's law, people without government-issued photo identification can cast provisional ballots to be counted if they return later that day with a photo ID or if election officials verify their signatures.
