This week Powerline analyzed the opposition to photo ID in Minnesota – worthy of a Sunday post.  First, the blog provides the language of the constitutional amendment question that may be considered, if approved by the Legislature:

Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended effective June 30, 2014, to
require that all in-person voters present an approved form of
government-issued photographic identification at the time of voting;
that those not voting in person provide government-issued proof of
identity at the time of voting; that all voters be subject to
substantially equivalent eligibility verification before a ballot is
cast or accepted; and that the state provide at no charge an approved
photographic identification for voters?

Second, this comment describes the hysteria on the left:

As you can imagine, liberals are up in arms at the prospect that their
voter slush fund–a few extra votes every election, in case they need
them–may dry up. So they have launched a campaign of deception against
the amendment, fronted by the League of Women Voters–a once-respectable
organization that perfectly illustrates O’Sullivan’s Law. As usual, Minnesota Majority,
an excellent grass-roots organization headed, as you might expect, by a
friend of mine, is on the case. Minnesota Majority has set up a web
site called We Want Voter ID,
which currently features a video of a League of Women Voters-sponsored
meeting in Edina, Minnesota. The League spreads disinformation, but a
lot of the citizens present at the meeting are on to them. The video
begins with an ACLU lawyer objecting to being videoed. Why, exactly, is
the ACLU teaming up with the League on this issue? Because voting
whether you are legal or not is a “right,” but having your vote canceled out by an illegal voter isn’t a “right.”
