Today in Voter Suppression

From RawStory.com:
"The Minnesota Supreme Court on Monday in a 4-2 decision rejected a lawsuit that alleged a voter ID ballot measure was misleading and unclear.

Residents in Minnesota will decide this November whether voters must show government-issued photographic identification before casting a ballot. However, the ballot question only mentions a “valid ID” and does not specify that it must be a government-issued ID.

The American Civil Liberties Union, who filed the lawsuit earlier this year, said the ballot measure also incorrectly describes who has to present an ID before voting and fails to mention the new provisional ballot system."
