JACKSON - Elections Committee Chairman Terry Burton says voter identification is now a dead issue for the 2008 session.

The Republican from Newton had persuaded the Senate to pass a resolution weeks ago to allow a voter ID bill to be introduced past the legislative deadline. However, it also had to pass in the House. The House never took up the resolution.

Burton said Monday that there’s not enough time left in the session to address a proposal that would require voters to present identification at the polls.

The 2008 Legislature is scheduled to end April 19.

    SCOTUS ruled on Voter ID today and ruled in favor of it.

    I’m still waiting for our legislature to follow a Judge’s order and pass Voter ID.

    Mississippi politics don’t do much for me unless it is national in nature.

    Nothing against Mississippi but I don’t live there.

    And I am not in the nature of discussing much politics since there are so many idiots out there.

    Ask me a topic in my state of Louisiana and I will respond to it.

    And I will learn about you and yours.

Got something to say?
