Letter - A poorly defined amendment

Truth: Minnesota is number-one in voter participation (Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs). Lie: Minnesota is number-one in voter fraud (“How Much Voter Fraud is There?” Slate.com, News21 - funded by Carnegie-Knight Initiative).

To the editor:

Truth: Minnesota is number-one in voter participation (Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs).

Lie: Minnesota is number-one in voter fraud (“How Much Voter Fraud is There?” Slate.com, News21 - funded by Carnegie-Knight Initiative).

I have always been proud that in Minnesota, the polls are voter-friendly. Please prevent a poorly defined, unnecessary, cumbersome, partisan, bureaucratic, and expensive amendment from being added to the Minnesota Constitution.

Trust the wisdom of the 90-year history of the non-partisan League of Women Voters and vote No.

If voters really wish to retain the integrity of our democracy, they ought to fight money in politics (Citizen’s United), which promotes unjust influence by the wealthiest citizens and corporations.
