Winkler Applauds Governor’s Veto of Voter ID
Saint Paul, Minnesota – State Rep. Ryan Winkler (DFL – Golden Valley) released the following statement following Governor Dayton’s veto of the voter ID bill.
“Voter ID is a costly, unnecessary, and creates barriers to voting for thousands of seniors, students and people with disabilities. I applaud Governor Dayton for protecting the voting rights of Minnesotans and taxpayers with his veto of this misguided bill.
Republicans are already threatening to put this issue on the ballot in 2012. It would be refreshing if they took some responsibility by first trying to balance the budget before pushing another constitutional amendment. But as they proved this session, it appears bypassing the legislative process is Republicans preferred method of limiting the civil rights of Minnesotans."
