Missouri ID Bill Ruled Unconstitutional

Judge Richard Callahan has ruled the contentious Missouri Voter ID law unconstitutional. The P-D is reporting that Judge Callahan found the bill unfair to the poor, and particularly women voters .

This is a victory for the democracy and the more than 240,000 voters who would have potentially been disenfranchised by this law. It is important to note, however, that the State of Missouri is considering an appeal to the Missouri Supreme Court.
