Democracy For All: The Barriers of Voter ID

Sponsored by the Tonka Progressives

Tuesday, February 28
6:30 p.m. Social        7 p.m. Program
Shady Oak Room, Minnetonka Community Center, 14600 Minnetonka Blvd. Mtka 55345

Are you in danger of losing your right to vote?  An amendment to the MN Constitution currently under discussion by the MN legislature would place restrictions on voting in Minnesota that could disenfranchise many current voters.  Could you or someone you know be one of them?

"Democracy for All:  The Barriers of Voter ID"

Short Film produced by the League of Women Voters

Presented by Debby McNeil, Attorney and Advocate for LWV Issue Positions

Debby McNeil will explain where voter ID stands in Minnesota, why the LWV opposes requiring voters to have a photo ID, how voting rights would be negatively affected by Voter ID, and the safeguards in Minnesota's election system.  

Hosts: Veta Segal, vrsegal@yahoo.com; Richard Wildberger, 952-938-6218; Judith Ann White, whitezubas@yahoo.com
