If you ask voters who would be affected by Missouri's proposed ID law, this is not a partisan issue. While it is quickly spun as one in Jefferson City, HJR48 will impact voters from all areas of the state and prevent them from casting a ballot, regardless of which party they support.Seniors from rural counties may have a particularly difficult time proving their citizenship, as it is shown that birth certificates were not always issued outside of big-city hospitals for several decades.
In 2006, the Missouri Secretary of State's office compared the DMV files with the voter registration files... and guess what? Almost 240,000 Missourians who are registered to vote do not have a state-issued photo ID.
