On Voter ID - #2

Minnesota Public Radio recently evaluated the assertion from the MN DFL that 700,000 Minnesotans could have their right to vote impeded (my term) if the ID Amendment passes.

MPR gave this assessment: "The DFL isn't out of bounds 
for saying that the amendment could make voting difficult for 700,000 Minnesotans. But because there is so much uncertainty about how the new rules would actually work, the DFL's claim remains inconclusive."

To me, that simply invites this question; "Should we write into the Constitution a law with it so much uncertainty in it that we can't even tell whether it could potentially disenfranchise 700,000 of our fellow citizens?"

My answer is no.
