Check out the headline and read the article. It says the ACLU is filing the legal challenge, yet the headline says "Democrats". Is this yet another example of the 'liberal' press or am I just not reading this article correctly?


Democrats challenge new Mo. voter ID law

By KELLY WIESE, Associated Press Writer

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Officials in Missouri's two largest cities filed
a lawsuit Monday to block a new state law requiring voters to show
photo identification.

Under the law, voters starting this November will need a photo ID
issued by either the state of federal government, such as a driver's
license, to cast a regular ballot. Those lacking IDs can cast
provisional ballots, which would count if their signatures matched
those on file with election authorities.

Republican Gov. Matt Blunt has praised the new law as a way to build
public trust in elections.

But the Democratic leaders in St. Louis and Kansas City who sued say
the law violates a state constitutional provision against imposing
costs on local governments without providing state funding. Their
lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction blocking the law from being
enforced and class-action status.
