Even if a law is passed, it will probably face legal challenge, Winkler says. "The only guarantee in all of this is lots of lawsuits," he said. "This is going to be worked out mostly in the court system, through litigation."

To reach the ballot, the voter ID question has to survive a legal challenge.

The American Civil Liberties Union and others are suing to keep it off this year's ballot, arguing it is misleading to voters.

I get photo ID on my customers when they write a check or use a CC in my Mom & Pop bookstore for a mere ten dollar purchase.

No one is ever confused.

On the other side of the coin, a identification issued by the Federal Government that identifies a person as a citizen would mark the end times.

Sheesh! To renew a drivers license in GA, one must provide four forms of ID. Voters should be required to provide no less than that to register and certainly a picture ID at the polling place.

The lefties, ACLU, Democrats, Marxists, et al always think people are stupid and we need to be governed by our "intellectual superiors."

Here's the language of the Minnesota Voter Identification Amendment (2012). Does this mislead you? Are you incapable of understanding a single English sentence?

"Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to require all voters to present valid photo identification to vote and to require the state to provide free identification to eligible voters, effective July 1, 2013?"

To presume people cannot understand this is condescending to the extreme.
