new voter photo "ID" flap in Missouri

Morning folks:

The Banana Republic of Missouri is once again attempting reform to the election laws. One hopes Governor Nixon vetoes this one called HJR 9 for its effect is not to make laws more fair, but to disallow voters in the State of Missouri from participating in elections. Failing that, time for lawsuits to block.

The resources devoted to getting voters propper id that is demanded by this bill opposed to the current systems is very limited and they could not get them out to the 200k plus individuals by next round of major elections in 2010 if they worked day and night, 24/7

How many and where one might ask (info from: http://www.firedupmissouri.com/content/connecting-dots-photo-id ):


St. Louis Co.: 51,708
St. Louis City: 29,949
Kansas City: 22,741
Greene Co: 10,043
Jackson Co: 8,866
Boone Co: 6,055
St. Charles Co: 5,903
Clay Co: 5,580
-----------------------estimated 230,000 voters in all and note the geographic locations and numbers.

Most elections in Missouri are determined by 25,000 votes or less by the way. Anyone think that disallowing 230,000 voters might have major impacts on election in this state?

Acorn folks against this bill and they are right to oppose this bill.
