Since her election as Missouri Secretary of State in 2004, Robin
Carnahan has quickly become a leading voice for protecting
the integrity of elections and voting rights. Her successful battle
against a strict government-issued photo ID requirement for voting
prevented widespread disenfranchisement in Missouri. Carnahan serves as
Co-Chair of the Elections Committee of the National Association of
Secretaries of State and as Chair of the Democratic Secretaries of
State. She often is called upon to testify on election matters before
US House and Senate Committees and was recognized by the Aspen Institute
as a rising star in American politics.
