Mo. election chief raises concerns

[dogday]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri's chief elections official said Monday she was asked for photo identification at the voting booth despite a court ruling striking down the requirement.

"I'm guessing this may be happening in other parts of the state," warned Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, a Democrat who had opposed Republican efforts to mandate a photo ID in Missouri.

She said that a worker at the St. Louis Election Board asked her three times to show photo ID when she went to cast an absentee ballot Friday.

Carnahan said that she tried to explain a photo ID was not necessary, but that the election worker replied that she was instructed to ask for one anyway. Carnahan said she eventually was allowed to vote without displaying a photo identification.

1. It was her responsibility

to make the ID requirements crystal clear. She didn't do that. She also allowed the flood of Diebold machines into the state.

2. Doing their best to disenfranchise voters

early.....

4. And she's a Dem.

Daughter of the late Mel Carnahan. Very disappointing.

5. She fought the repubs against the photo Id and

yet as Secretary of State, she does not strictly enforce it in each district.... That should of been a constant memo and reminder that people do not ID to vote in MO... She did not do her job...

3. Are we allowed to voice these concerns? It's causing a drop in

voting, donchaknow...

:rofl:

Thanks for posting this, I hope it's all over the media in MO!!
