Subject: RE: BS: Time to Pay Your Poll Tax
It is a completely outrageous decision.
The State of MN has some of the most liberal voting laws in the nation. One can register and vote at the same time, on the day of the election, without a photo ID. One need only provide proof of a valid address in the district you are are voting in (usually a utility bill) or bring someone to vouch for you being a resident of the district, who is a registered voter.
This creates outrageous barriers to inclusive participation in the voting process.
But then, what did we expect from the corporate annointed and appointed court?
