密苏里州最高法院将裁定选民身份证法和有偿登记禁令是否侵犯了权利。 Missouri Supreme Court to decide if voter ID law and paid registration ban violate rights.

密苏里最高法院将就一项2022年的法律作出裁决,该项法律要求政府签发的照片身份证必须投票,并禁止有偿选民登记工作。 The Missouri Supreme Court is set to rule on a 2022 law requiring government-issued photo ID to vote and banning paid voter registration efforts. 包括密苏里NAACP和ACLU在内的批评者认为,身份证要求不成比例地影响到残疾选民、低收入选民或证件问题选民,他们援引了2022年被否决的116张选票。 Critics, including the Missouri NAACP and ACLU, argue the ID requirement disproportionately affects voters with disabilities, low income, or document issues, citing 116 ballots rejected in 2022. 他们还声称,有偿登记禁令压制了选民的参与,违反了言论自由。 They also claim the paid registration ban suppresses voter participation and violates free speech. 国家维持法律防止欺诈,并记录受影响最严重的选民最终获得身份证的情况。 The state maintains the law prevents fraud and notes most affected voters eventually obtained IDs. 法院的决定预计很快会使身份证要求无效,取消提前两周的投票时间,并改变密苏里州的投票权。 The court’s decision, expected soon, could invalidate the ID requirement, eliminating a two-week early voting period and reshaping voting access in Missouri.
