At Knoxnews.com, editorial on Tennessee voter ID and a rewind to the past in the infamous Ford fraud case.  Excerpt below:

In the Memphis case, a well-known folk artist, Joe Light, supposedly cast a ballot in person in the Ford race. Light had been dead for years. Fund and von Spakovsky detail how “dead” people voted, felons voted, people from outside the precinct voted and the sordid details of how the fraud was perpetuated, with local election officials complicit. They wrote:

Local poll officers were involved in some of the fraud in this election. That type of insider fraud can be hard to deter and hard to detect. The importance of poll-watching programs cannot be overstated. They allow poll watchers and election observers to verify that officials are not violating the law, or even sloppily failing to follow the law, by allowing individuals to vote whose IDs don’t match their registered addresses. The Memphis case is a perfect example of how close elections are changed due to voter fraud, and why security measures should be put in place to ensure that elections are decided only by legitimate voters.

As we can see in Minnesota, once the policy battle is lost, the Democrats shift to “waste of money” as the next line of defense.  Apparently, taxpayers are taxed to spend money on all types of equipment and processes for good clean elections…except voter ID.

If Minnesota citizens pass a voter ID law and require those few voters without a photo ID to obtain one, the Democrats call it a “poll tax”

If Minnesota citizens pass a voter ID law and require (and pay) for those few voters without a photo ID to obtain one, the Democrats call it a “poll tax” and a waste of money.

Ballots, computers, databases, voting equipment, signs, poll workers, registration forms, voter registration offices, heat, electricity, and the rental fees of polling places……. all cost money, tax payer money.
