MIssissippi: voter I.D. bill passes senate

The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports: After a lengthy and emotional debate that highlighted Mississippi's tumultuous racial history, state senators today passed a bill to require voters to show government-issued identification before casting ballots.

The bill was seen by several African-American members as a partisan attempt in an election year to intimidate black voters. -- Memphis Commercial Appeal - Memphis' Source for News and Information: Local
