Voter I.D.

One of the things that has been near and dear to my heart in the policital process and definitely falls under Mississippi Law is Voter Identification during elections. House Bill 1520 directly addresses this and is co-authored by 57 (I believe) Representatives. However, passage of this bill may not be a reality as the Mississippi House of Representatives is fairly staunchly divided along party (and other) lines and most, if not all, of these authors are Republican.

I additionally direct your attention to a blog post from Rep. Greg Snowden, one of the bills co-authors for his take on the matter. It is partisan but an interesting look into a legislators thougts.

Here, again, Snowden talks about HB 1520 in a post today.
