Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey celebrated the state court's decision to uphold the voter ID law, calling it a 'huge win for election security.' The court's ruling was also praised by Elon Musk, who encouraged the implementation of similar laws nationwide.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said a state law requiring a photo ID to vote being upheld in court is a 'huge win for election security .' ' Missouri proved today how to handle radical activists that come into a state with secure elections and try to undermine them through the legal process,' Bailey said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital. Bailey added that this was a huge victory for the Show Me State.
There is not a severe burden on the right to vote as the State has gone to great lengths to help voters obtain IDs,' Bailey wrote in a previous court brief. In October 2022, Cole County Presiding Judge Jon Beetem had already rejected a lawsuit brought by the Missouri League of Women Voters, NAACP and two voters challenging a law passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature making it mandatory that voters show photo identification to cast a regular ballot.
Other Republican-led states are moving in the same direction as Missouri, which could serve as the blueprint for national policy. 'I'm proud that Missouri will continue to lead the nation in defense of election security,' Bailey said. Critics argue that such requirements are an overreaction that could disenfranchise eligible voters. Fox News Digital's Danielle Wallace and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
