Delbert Scott admits GOP rush to alter our Constitution and laws to weaken voting rights is purely partisan

Delbert Scott finally says what we’ve all known.  The mean GOP knows it might not control the legislature and Governor’s mansion so, before they are ousted, they are going to force through a constitutional amendment to weaken our voting rights, as well as an extremely unpopular accompanying measure that could disenfranchise as many as 240,000 registered, law-abiding Missouri voters – including the elderly, disabled, poor, students, nuns, Lillie Lewis and Kathleen Weinschenk.  From CDT's Rosenbaum:

So what’s the point of passing a concurrent bill with the constitutional amendment?

[Sen. Delbert] Scott said that there is a hypothetical risk in holding off on passing a corresponding law, especially if Democrats gain control of the House, Senate or the Governor’s Mansion. It is unlikely that any legislation mandating a photo ID at the polls would pass under those circumstances — even with voter approval of the issue.

“If you don’t have a Republican governor, you won’t get it during that term,” Scott said.

Again:

If Democrats gain control of the House, Senate or the Governor’s Mansion, it is unlikely any photo ID legislation would pass.

"If you don’t have a Republican governor, you won’t get it during that term," Scott said.

Great reasons for massive public policy changes that solve no problems but hurt many Missourians.
