Immediate suit threatened on new voter photo-ID bill (AUDIO)

January 24, 2011 By [email protected]

The lawyer who attacked the 2006 voter photo-ID law and won, says he has the state supreme court behind him as he threatens a suit against the voter photo-ID bills being studied by a state senate committee. The committee is considering a bill requiring voter s to produce a nonexpired Missouri driver’s license; a nonexpired non-driver’s license, military ID, or a document issued by the United States or Missouri government with a signature the voter can match when signing for a ballot.

Lawyer Burt Newman, who took the last case without pay, says the legislature is again moving to impair a vested right, a fatal flaw.

                                       Justus :08 mp3   :07

The bills involved are SJRs 2 and 9, and SB3
