State Supreme Court Hears Voter Photo I-D Lawsuit



7-17-12 (St. Paul, MN)  --  Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union ask the Minnesota Supreme Court this afternoon (1:30pm) to throw out the ballot question on the proposed voter photo-ID constitutional amendment, claiming it's misleading.  Chuck Samuelson with A-C-L-U Minnesota says the ballot question does not let voters know about changes -- like provisional ballots required for people who can't immediately produce I-D -- which he warns will discourage some people from voting.  But Dan McGrath with Minnesota Majority responds voter photo-ID will prevent election day fraud and he says opponents are "trying to thwart the will of the people and prevent this important election integrity measure from taking place."
