The most fundamental right in our democracy faced a major setback last year when Missouri passed a highly-restrictive voter ID law, which requires a valid, non-expired, in-state photo ID in order to cast a ballot. This is a poll tax on senior citizens, the poor, college students and those who rely on public transportation. Now that this is the law, the goal for those of us who want to make voting easier, not harder, will be to fight this new policy in the courtroom, but also ensure, through the legislature, that the state provides sufficient funding, training and resources primarily to communities most affected by this new law, so that - above all else - every Missourian who wants to vote, can vote.
