I heard from another source that the repugs are at it again

The republicans set forth a new voter id law in Missouri which is threatning to disenfranchise over 200,000 people. Please pass this on so the thread doesn't get buried.

Voter ID laws again are gaining traction in the Missouri legislature

Special to The Star
This year, Republican leadership fast-tracked voter ID, and a pair of bills have cleared the House with an overwhelming majority and await debate in the Senate.

The Democrats filibuster the law for a long time and forced some major changes. If a voter does not have an id, he can still vote by signing an affidavit. This is essentially what the DOJ forced South Carolina to agree to back when Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act was still in effect.
