Missourians hoping to get a free state ID card that could be needed to vote were out of luck starting Monday.

A judge ruled last week that the new state law requiring voters to show a government-issued photo identification card was an unconstitutional infringement on the fundamental right to vote. But the ruling is expected to be appealed, and if a higher court overturns the decision, IDs could again be required to cast a regular ballot as soon as the Nov. 7 general election.

Also, the department said it is halting more than 60 visits scheduled to nursing homes and other centers for the elderly and disabled to help provide ID cards to those who can't get out to obtain one.
