Jefferson City - In the oddest argument possible, the Missouri Democratic Party responded to the Supreme Court’s ruling on requiring Voter IDs with , "People impersonating someone else at the polls is absolutely undocumented, and we don’t see (it) here. So, to an essence what we had a couple years ago was (the) legislature trying to seek an answer for a problem that didn’t exist." 

“I believe that if a tree falls in the forest with nobody around it does make a sound,” said Tina Hervey, communications director, “I also know that Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to prevent good laws from being enacted and enforced that would help us ensure the integrity of our elections. It is more than disingenuous to say that no one has ever been caught cheating at the polls by impersonating a different voter when the precise law that would allow us to catch people doing just that has been vigorously opposed by Democrats who want to cheat.”

Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that an election requirement for voters to confirm their identity is not unreasonable or unconstitutional. In the majority opinion, the Court stated that the necessity identity confirmation is - "amply justified by the valid interest in protecting the integrity and reliability of the electoral process."
