A Republican representative in Missouri introduced the "Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act," a state bill inspired by the president-elect that would allow convicted felons to run for public office.
Rep. Michael Davis of Belton, a suburb outside Kansas City, pre-filed the bill on Dec. 3. Under current state law, convicted felons are allowed to vote and run for federal office after completing their sentence, but they are barred from running for local or state office.
