Again . . . This blog will always give credit where it's due . . . Clay has a press conference that nobody attended besides an old school newspaper reporter who relayed an inconvenient fact . . . Take a look:

Kansas City mayoral candidate Clay Chastain intended to cast a vote for himself Friday morning, but was denied an absentee ballot when he was unable to meet Missouri’s new voter ID requirements.

“I’m on the ballot, but now you’re saying I can’t vote for myself?” Chastain said to workers at the Kansas City Election Board office at Union Station. To cast a vote, they told him, he needed a valid, state-issued photo ID card like a Missouri driver’s license or a current U.S. passport.
