MINNEAPOLIS, April 4 (Reuters) - A controversial voter photo ID
requirement will be on the ballot in Minnesota in November after the
Republican-led legislature gave its approval on Wednesday.
.
The legislature's move bypasses Democratic Governor Mark Dayton - who
vetoed a voter ID bill last year - and puts the proposed amendment to the
state's constitution directly in the hands of voters.
.
State senators voted along party lines on Wednesday to put the measure on
the ballot. The state's representatives gave their approval shortly after
midnight.
.
The votes put Minnesota and its closely divided electorate squarely within
a national movement by Republican-controlled state legislatures to enact
more restrictive voter ID laws.
.
Democrats contend the laws are aimed at keeping their supporters such as
minorities and the elderly from the polls.
.

.
Thirty states have laws requiring voters to show at least some type of
identification to vote in November, according to the National Council of
State Legislatures.
.
Several states have enacted voter photo ID laws since the start of 2011
including Texas, Wisconsin, Kansas and Pennsylvania, though the U.S.
Justice Department has blocked the Texas law and a state judge has blocked
the Wisconsin law.
.
Newman said he was expecting a legal challenge.
.
The ACLU of Minnesota civil liberties group and the League of Women Voters
of Minnesota have opposed the amendment and executive directors of both
organizations said Wednesday they were considering several options
including potential legal challenges.
.
"This is just voter suppression, they dress it up in a pretty gown and put
lipstick on it, but it is voter suppression," said Charles Samuelson,
executive director of the ACLU of Minnesota.
.
Laura Wang, executive director of the League of Women Voters of Minnesota,
said the amendment would limit rights where historically the constitution
has been amended to expand rights.
.
Dayton has said he will campaign against the amendment.

I never cease to be amazedin a really bad wayat the lengths to which
Republican lawmakers will go to cut down the number of people who get to
vote (preferably, of course, people who might vote Democratic).
.
The Justice Department has been fighting discriminatory voter ID
requirements and other ballot-blocking measures around the country, with
some success. Some courts have been doing their job too by striking down
some of these laws.
.
So the Minnesota Republicans who form that states Senate majority decided
to take another routeamend the states constitution to make it harder for
people to vote.
.
The Senate voted 35-29 today for a proposed amendment that would require
all voters at the polls to show a photo ID, stiffen eligibility
requirements for registration and limit acceptable ID forms to government
issued ones. (That last measure makes it harder for students; their
college ID would not be valid.)
