October 31, 2012 at 7:00 pm in Worthington Daily Globe
Minnesota’s election system, which combines Election Day registration with vouching, is among the least secure election systems in the country. Continue Reading
You have given valid reasons to vote yes on the amendment. I agree with you totally.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Notice the writer carefully avoids the budget-busting cost of implementation which could run as high as $50-$100 million. Ask your legislators where this money will come from.

Don’t care, if we can afford a domestic foreign aid program we can afford to protect our voting system. I don’t think the cost is going to be anywhere near those numbers. You seem to be willing to give away the farm on every other issue, whets up with this?

Here is one example of domestic foreign aid:

If you want more I’m sure I can finds hundreds if not thousands more. One thing I didn’t know was that illegal aliens will not have to pay obama care tax. I guess I should have figured that, we just have to wise-up!

If we eliminated domestic foreign aid we probably wouldn’t need voter ID. At the very least we could pay for it and have hundreds of millions left over, win-win. There is no stretch to it; it’s an absolute fact.

What I do know is if our foreign welfare doesn’t go away this voter I D thing will be meaningless because we will be bankrupt anyway! Voting YES might be a start in the right direction.
Rather than vote NO I would suggest watching\ re-watching the movie 2016 Obamas America, for if you havn’t seen this documentary you don’t know what you’re voting for…

Eliminate paying over $50 million a year for students in the public schools who are here illegally. That would be a good way to start.

Oops, sorry I forgot you support lawbreakers. With your logic it you might think it would be okay for Tom Petters family to keep his stolen money, since they are innocent victims, just like the illegal students.

I don’t think that voter ID is about a small amount of fraud here and there. It is more likely about making sure that only people who have the right to vote. are the ones voting. With the millions and millions of citizens from other countries, non-citizens, extremists, drug lords or whatever other wack jobs you have it’s an absolute necessity! It’s hard to believe that there are still some that haven’t figured that out, or have they? To me it’s either vote YES for our state\country or no for the other! A no vote would be a vote against yourself unless you might be one who could benefit from illegal voting.

Please be honest. I have not seen anywhere saying that military id’s aren’t government issued id’s. The amendment says any form of government photo issued id is valid. The last time I checked the military is considered part of government.

I have a hard time seeing any huge new cost being associated with.
