"The Supreme Court's decision to uphold Judge Callahan's ruling provides absolute clarity that the photo ID law is unconstitutional and thus will not go into effect in Missouri," said Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan. "It's my job to ensure fair elections, and elections cannot be fair if eligible voters are not allowed to vote. I'm pleased that this issue was resolved in a way that protects Missouri voters and preserves free and fair elections."
Missouri Supreme Court Rules Against Photo ID Requirement for Voters
"The photo ID requirement violates the right to vote as guaranteed by article I, section 25 of the state Constitution"
The Missouri Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a valid Photo ID is not required to cast a ballot in the state election. "The photo ID requirement violates the right to vote as guaranteed by article I, section 25 of the state Constitution," said the ruling, "which provides more expansive and concrete protection to the right to vote than the federal Constitution."
