/ State Rep. Peggy McGaugh, shown in this February 2020 photo before the COVID-19 pandemic began, is pushing to expand no-excuse absentee voting. The Carrolton Republican previously served as Carroll County's clerk. State Rep. Peggy McGaugh is the latest guest on Politically Speaking, where the Carrollton Republican spoke with St. Louis Public Radio’s Jason Rosenbaum about what’s next for absentee voting in Missouri. McGaugh also discussed her reaction to Gov. Mike Parson’s State of the State speech, including the impending expansion of Medicaid. Here’s what McGaugh had to say during the show: 2021 may be the best year to make changes to the absentee ballot process, after scores of people voted early last year due to COVID-19 concerns. McGaugh has sponsored legislation in the past that would allow someone to vote in-person absentee without an excuse.
