Steele County says voter ID could cost it $100,000
The Secretary of State’s office estimates that Steele County has 2,386 eligible voters without state-issued IDs or with invalid IDs. Steele County auditor Laura Ihrke has tallied the numbers and says the proposed Voted ID amendment could cost the county close to $100,000, writes Derek Sullivan of the Owatonna People's Press. The Secretary of State’s office estimates that Steele County has 2,386 eligible voters without state-issued IDs or with invalid IDs. “If (the Constitutional Amendment) passes, a lot of what will happen is unknown,” Ihrke said. “We don’t know who is going to pay for the additional poll books. Is it going to be the responsibility of the county?” A poll book allows election officials to review and process voter information during an election. Ihrke said poll books cost $2,000 to $4,500. Steele County has 26 voting precincts, so if one was placed at each precinct, the cost would be $52,000 to $117,000. Ihrke said that estimation may be conservative. “We will most likely have to have more than one at each precinct to avoid extremely long lines,” she said.

The price of freedom to vote was paid in full with the blood, sweat and tears of the fallen to protect our rights the cost of voter I.D. is nothing compared to the cost of allowing voter fraud that equals the theft of freedom.

Is Voter ID really a Poll Tax?
Poll taxes were taxes that had to be paid by registered voters. The courts decided it was illegal as the poorer people could not afford it and this prevented them from voting. Blacks could generally not afford the tax.The 24th Amendment forbids the imposition of "any poll tax or other tax" in federal elections. To obtain an acceptable substitute, they must travel to a driver licensing office and submit appropriate documents, along with their fingerprints, to establish their qualifications. If they don't have the required papers, they must pay $22 for a copy of their birth certificate. If they can't come up with the money for the qualifying documents, they can't vote. The 24th Amendment denies states the power to create such a financial barrier to the ballot box.

Why would extra poll books be needed? I highly doubt there would be long lines at smaller polling places and the larger ones just need to break up the alphabet (last names) into more lines. Problem solved.

Believe it or not but states with voter ID have a larger turn out of minorites. The big BS ers that says it hurts lower income people. These lower income people have to have a ID to buy the booze and smokes they like? So in my way of thinking passing the voter ID law will not cost no more than it does now.

Just how much voter fraud is there in Minnesota?
When we filled out our voter registration form it required enough information to verify US as legitimate citizens.
Whats with spending money needlessly!

QUOTE Just how much voter fraud is there in Minnesota? What do you mean, how much?  That's like "I only cheated a little."
Much to do about nothing is what I’m saying, wasted money on a problem that doesn’t exist.
Don’t fix it unless it’s broken you should be listening to Arne Carlson.
