JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri Senate on Monday agreed to a requirement for people to show photo identification when voting, ending almost a month of Democratic attempts to block the legislation and clearing a path for it to pass the Legislature.
Republicans agreed to allow people without a photo ID to cast a ballot if they sign a statement saying, under penalty of perjury, that they don’t have the required identification and can show some other form, such as a paycheck or utility bill.
