Statement on Photo ID Lawsuit
(ST. PAUL) — Today, the American Civil Liberties Union, Common Cause, Jewish Community Action and the League of Women Voters announced a legal challenge to the proposed constitutional amendment that would require voters to present photo IDs at the polls.
State Representative Ryan Winkler (DFL – Golden Valley) released the following statement:
“This is no doubt only the first shot fired in a long litigation war over photo ID that was started when Photo ID proponents insisted on a constitutional amendment with vague language that can't be corrected. The proponents started the war, and the ultimate casualty will be the election system of Minnesota and voter's trust in its integrity.
“We had an opportunity to work together during the legislative session to improve our nation-leading election system and enhance its integrity, but Photo ID proponents chose to undermine our system by pursuing this constitutional amendment.”
