Major problem with voting rights in Missouri. State approved "voter ID". Sounds cool, right? However, this basically means that the paper card with the voter's signature is not enough any longer. Picture ID sounds great, but is it? Did you know that your franchise (right to vote) can expire if you don't provide certain non-voting information to the government? Illegal aliens can get drivers licenses and vote all over the place. How about US born nationals? Not really.
In Missouri it is specified in the media (valid or no?) that to vote you must have a "non-expired" ID. This could be a state issued driver's license, military ID and/or US passport. What happens if your ID is expired and you don't want to renew because providing all the non-voting federal data for REAL ID is anathema to you? I guess some want you to think you are SOL. However, this should be considered a major civil rights case. Who is concerned at the moment with providing extremely private information? How about Christians, conservatives and garden variety patriots?
Does anyone else have an issue with taking your social security card, marriage license (for married women whose last name has changed), etc. to the DMV for scanning to be retained by the state "for at least 10 years". How about being okay with the DMV taking a photo which you cannot ascertain is not used for the generation of facial recognition databases?
Basic skills or vision testing for a driver's license might make some sense. Whatever is going on right now is wrong and potentially a civil rights case in anon view, because some will not be allowed to vote without sacrificing privacy.
