Hattiesburg American: Critics say Mississippi House voter ID bill is too weak

"A bill advancing in the Mississippi Legislature would expand early voting and require voters to show identification at the polls.
The bill passed the House Elections Committee [sic] on Tuesday and is expected to come up for a vote of the full House by next week.
A separate voter ID bill passed the Mississippi Senate in January. The two chambers eventually could try to write a compromise bill. Or discussions about voter ID could fail, as they have done for more than a decade."

Commenting is available for this article.
Mississippians: You can contact your own state representative [Google Document or webpage] concerning this bill.
Nota bene: I could not locate the bill text on the Mississippi Legislature website.


Thanks to the Hattiesburg American.
