VoterID supporters should be asked if they would agree to requring everyone to sign up to vote on an annual basis, in person and with original supporting documentation. Further, they should be required to wait for a bus, which will show up at their home at an agreed upon time, which they will be responsible for scheduling. Oh, and the ride may come within a four hour window.
This is what they are asking the people most impacted by this law to do. It should be become apparant that it is a burden and will impact voter participation.

Hey Thom, regular and devoted listener, So I know you don't mind what I am about to do. I was in a "discussion" on facebook with a Republucan over politics and was shocked when he presnted me with what appears to be an actually fact to support his view. Apparently Minnesota has had a number of convictions regarding voter fraud stemming from what pretty much was a "sting operation" from the 2008 election, Sadly, they targeted flelons, who are barred from voting in Minnesota, in order to get the convictions, These people face enough obstacles to trying to coexist in society already. without being used as easy pickings to obtain convictions to prove a point But I digress..
Anyhow at the time of this report over 100 have been convicted and they expect convictions in about another 200 cases.
