Published February 05, 2008 11:56 am - Two Joplin men, both carrying Jasper County-issued voter registration cards, were asked for photo IDs, and were not allowed to vote when they would not produce them.

10:55 a.m. Two votes turned away from polls in Joplin



Two Joplin men, both carrying Jasper County-issued voter registration cards, were asked for photo IDs, and were not allowed to vote when they would not produce them.

But Jasper County Clerk Bonnie Earl said that under the law, the election clerk should have let them vote, since a registration card is considered a form of identification.

Keith Bryant and Joseph McCully, who is disabled, went to vote earlier today at a polling place the First United Methodist Church, 501 W. Fourth St., said they were turned away for the polls even though they both had registration cards.

Earl, when asked about the law, said the state only provides that a voter show some type of identification. A voter-registration card is an acceptable for of identification, as is a copy of a utility bill, a bank statement, a government check or a driver’s license.

Earl said she would call Bryant and McCully and ask them to return to cast their votes.
