Missourians should not have to expose themselves to a deadly virus in order to vote.
Despite some feigned confusion by elected officials, Missouri law allows absentee voting by mail in situations like this.
The secretary of state knows this and could clear this up, but he insists a court should do it. We are taking his advice and going to court.
The American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Missouri, and the Missouri Voter Protection Coalition filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to make absentee mail-in balloting available to all eligible voters in Missouri.
The case was filed on behalf of the NAACP of Missouri, the League of Women Voters of Missouri, and several individuals Missouri registered voters.
We witnessed what happened in Wisconsin and Missouri must do everything in its power to not make the same mistakes.
No one should have to choose between their health and their right to vote. Requiring voters to be physically present at their traditional polling places during the COVID-19 pandemic – where they will be congregating and waiting in line with others in order to vote – is contrary to the advice of public health experts and puts people's health at risk.
Please remember to check your voter registration.
We will continue to keep you updated on this case and all we are doing to ensure you can vote safely in our upcoming elections.
