I read with interest a news article about a Minnesota group that is upset about Minnesota's same-day voter registration law. It seems that Minnesota Majority doesn't feel that we as citizens of Minnesota should not have the right to register to vote at the polls on election day
According to Twincities.com Minnesota Majority president Jeff Davis says he's not satisfied with county officials' response to his questions about voter records. Davis says he opposes same-day voter registration and wants to require voters to show photo identification before they cast ballots.
Looks like just another right wing group that wants to make it harder for you to vote.

Mr Sproul has been investigated on numerous occasions for preventing Democrats from voting, destroying registration forms and leading efforts to get Ralph Nader on ballots to leach the Democratic vote.
In October last year, the House Judiciary Committee wrote to the Attorney General requesting answers regarding a number of allegations against Mr Sproul’s firm, then known as Sproul and Associates. It referred to evidence that ahead of the 2004 national elections, the firm trained staff only to register Republican voters and destroyed any other registration cards, citing affidavits from former staff members and investigations by television news programmes.
One former worker testified that “fooling people was key to the job” and that “canvassers were told to act as if they were non-partisan, to hide that they were working for the RNC, especially if approached by the media,” according to the committee’s letter.
