Clarion Ledger Opinion – Voter ID needs close look

As The Clarion-Ledger reported, Molpus, a Democrat, says the new law, adopted by Mississippi voters Nov. 8, would violate the Voting Rights Act by disenfranchising many Mississippians.
“My request is that you protect those who would be excluded from our democracy by this ill-conceived law,” Molpus wrote Holder Friday in a letter.
