State lawmakers also moved to potentially tighten voting requirements. The elections law change would require people to show a government-issued photo ID at the polls starting in 2017, if voters also approve a proposed constitutional amendment on the November ballot.
Lawmakers overrode 13 vetoes Wednesday while adding to Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon's record as the most overridden governor in Missouri history, a distinction made possible by an era of extreme political division in the Capitol. Heading into Wednesday, lawmakers had successfully overridden Nixon on 83 bills and budget expenditures over his two terms in office -- nearly four times more overrides than the combined total for all other governors dating back to 1820 when Missouri was still a territory.
