What jumped out at me about this proposed law is that it requires a more stringent verification of residency than is mandated in government elections. If I have recently moved into the neighborhood as a renter but have not changed my drivers license yet, something I think I am allowed some time to accomplish, but can produce a utility bill and even a next door neighbor to testify to my residency, I cannot vote? Is that how anyone else reads the proposed law. I must admit to not having read the whole law, only our moderator's synopsis. If this is in fact true, and if in fact the DFL supports the current motor-voter registration process, and if in fact the IR's want to tighten, some might say weaken, the motor-voter registration, then I might suggest these folks pull back and rethink lest they give their opponents a gun and ammunition to blow them out of the water if nowhere else than in the public relations arena. Then again I may misunderstand part or all of this topic. It certainly would not be the first, nor I hope, the last time.
