| Description: "There is a long and dubious history of voter fraud and irregularities throughout our state, especially in St. Louis and Kansas City." | |
Lair said in an investigation after the November 2000 election, reports show 62 federal felons voted, 68 people voted twice, and 14 people who are dead cast votes.
But Columbia Rep. Chris Kelly believes the bill would prevent black women from voting and asked for specific instances of voter fraud.
