1. Everyone who is legally eligible to vote should do so – it’s a civic responsibility.
2. No one should be allowed to vote until their eligibility to do so has been verified -- the lack of a photo ID requirement makes this nearly impossible.
3. All voters should have equal protection under the law – today’s law is socially unjust as it treats same-day registrants differently than those who register in advance of an election.
4. Accurate record keeping and adequate controls are critical to ensuring the integrity of our election system – Minnesota citizens can’t have trust in our elections if there are widespread record keeping failures or inconsistently applied policies.
