I’m going to explore that idea a bit in this post, […]

November 4, 2012

In their last poll of the state, and likely the last poll to be released in Minnesota, prior to the election, Public Policy Polling finds opposition to both of the amendments above 50%. First up, the Photo Voter ID amendment: PPP (11/3, 10/8 in parenthesis, 9/12 in brackets): Should the Minnesota Constitution be amended to require all voters to […]
