    And another good measure for insuring election integrity.

    I love this by the Judge

    "...Written by Cole County Circuit Judge Jon Beetem, the ruling stipulates that the challenge to the law in question brought by the Missouri State Conference of the NAACP and League of Women Voters (LWV) against the state “fails to allege facts establishing standing” and that “Missouri voters do not have a legally protectable interest in avoiding the everyday burdens of getting an expired license renewed.”


    “These allegations are insufficient to establish representational standing,” Beetem wrote. “As this Court stated in its prior judgment, ‘Plaintiffs … lack associational standing because they fail to identify any member of their organizations who has direct standing to challenge the laws at issue’ … NAACP’s and LWV’s decision to allege facts about their own members ‘upon information and belief’ demonstrates the speculative nature of these allegations.”..."

    IOW they could find no one to complain about it. No one "denied " a right to vote for lack of an ID.

    Finally something is being done, as noted in several new threads about such rulings, to get our elections back under control and people can vote with confidence.
