Monday's election notes

-- The Missouri Supreme Court will hear arguments on the tobacco tax's place on the ballot October 3. A Cole County judge overturned Robin Carnahan's decision to deny petitioners a spot on the ballot because they didn't have enough valid signatures.

-- No more freebies from the DOR. The Department of Revenue is going to stop giving away free state ID cards -- they will cost $11. DOR had scheduled visits to nursing homes so that elderly folk without photo IDs could vote in November. But since a judge struck down the voter ID law last week, it has asked a judge to allow the free IDs while the voter ID law works it way through the courts.
