Missouri: judge allows one intervention, denies another in voter I.D. case
AP reports: The legislator who handled the new law requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls was allowed to step into the court battle Monday.
Cole County Circuit Judge Richard Callahan permitted Sen. Delbert Scott, R-Lowry City, to intervene in defending the law against various city officials and potential voters who are challenging its constitutionality.
But the judge again denied a request by the St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners to get involved.
Another hearing in the case is set for Friday. -- AP Wire | 08/28/2006 | Judge allows sponsor of law into voter ID case
