ST. LOUIS (AP) - Both of Missouri's Senate candidates spent
their final full day of campaigning today urging supporters to get
out and vote.
Senator Jim Talent told supporters in St. Louis, Columbia and
Independence that he believed he can win the close race if
Republicans will turn out in big numbers.
In an appearance this morning in Columbia, Talent and fellow
Republicans Senator Kit Bond and Representative Kenny Hulshof all
said it was critical that Republicans keep control of the Senate.
Bond said when he first won his Senate seat in 1986, polls
predictedt Bush whenever possible. She says Talent doesn't have the
right priorities and spends way too much time being President
Bush's best friend.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missourians do NOT have to show a
photo identification to vote tomorrow. Secretary of State Robin
Carnahan says she's concerned because she was asked for one when
she cast an absentee ballot in St. Louis.
Carnahan calls her experience troubling and is concerned that
poll workers in other parts of the state might also be confused.
Missouri enacted a law earlier this year that would have
required voters to show a government-issued photo I-D. But the
Missouri Supreme Court struck down the requirement as an
unconstitutional infringement on the right to vote.
Carnahan says a photo I-D is one option for voters. But she says
voters also can verify their identity with documents like a utility
bill, bank statement or paycheck.
