State Rep. Alex Monsour, R-Vicksburg, passed a petition Tuesday to Vicksburg Lions Club members asking them to back efforts to require photo ID at Mississippi polling places. A few signed, adding to about 50,000 signatures gathered statewide since the state Republican Party launched the petition effort in August. The petition seeks to add voter ID to the Constitution via a public referendum. “If we leave it up to the people to do the voting, that’s the way it should be,” said Monsour, who is serving his first term.
