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.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
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.
