Veto session: Missouri House acts to put in place a photo ID mandate for voters [View all]
The Missouri House has voted 115-41 to override Gov. Jay Nixon’s veto of a bill that puts in place a photo ID mandate for voters who go to the polls.
The state Senate is expected to make its override attempt shortly.
The bill – which is estimated to cost the state $17 million a year – would go into place only if Missouri voters in November approve a proposed constitutional amendment to allow the state to require voters to show a photo ID at the polls. The state Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that the state constitution currently bars such a mandate.
The annual cost pertains to state help for people who do not have the documents, such as a birth certificate or marriage license, required to verify their identity so that they can obtain a government-issued ID.
