But there are checks and balances, Wesley. Why didn't you read that part of the post?

You can use a utility bill that is current, so long as you have a voter registered in your precinct along with you to vouch for you.

Those votes are then set aside, and residency is verified after the election is over.

That is why election counts are always unofficial on the day. It isn't a burden to the state to do it that way, because they count the votes about 80 bazillion times before the results get certified. It is during that process that the illegal votes get weeded out.

I also mentioned that the state of Minnesota has been voting with these liberal voting laws for decades, without any problems. We are considered one of the cleanest voting states in the Union, and we have some of the highest voter turnout in the nation, election after election. We take it all very seriously here.

This decision, like all these "jump through hoops" barriers to voting are intended to do one thing only: suppress voter turnout.

Why are the Republicans so eager to surpress voter turnout? Because in the US, there a whole lot more voters who are registered as Democrats than there are Republicans.

Hence, the tendency for the Republicans to always be tinkering with ways to supress voter turnout, especially in Democratic strongholds, like Gary.

It doesn't matter if you like the MN law, thank god. We've had it for a long time, and your opinion, and the regressive Republicrats across the nation, haven't been able to take away our voting rights in MN.

Yet.

No thanks to people like you, of course.
