JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri Supreme Court judges raised many questions Wednesday as they considered the constitutionality of a new state law requiring people to show photo identification to vote.

"Does it make a difference that it's only 3 percent (lacking an ID)?" asked retired Supreme Court Judge Charles Blackmar, who was sitting in for Judge William Ray Price Jr. Courts have established that "you should not have to pay for the right to vote."

Blackmar said he no longer drives and so didn't renew his license, but now would be unable to vote under the law.

"This wouldn't qualify as a proper photo ID," he said, waving his old license to the courtroom.
