A Missouri state judge ordered on Oct. 9 that state election authorities could no longer tell voters that they are required to show a photo identification card in order to cast a ballot, blocking parts of Missouri’s voter identification law.

The ruling came less than a month before Nov. 6 elections when control of Congress is at stake.
