The last time I voted in Minnesota, I got the stink eye from the election judge when I showed my ID. This was the year (2010) that the state threatened to arrest anyone wearing a t-shirt saying “Ask for my ID” to the polling place. That was the year that Crazy Eyes Mark Dayton took the governor’s office. In 2011 I moved back to Texas.
It’s a bit different in outstate Minnesota, many of the judges are conservative but they still have to follow the loose laws. I registered on the same day just because we moved and I kept putting off registering ahead of time. If the laws were different I would have found the time to register.
We had to show ID and a current utility bill as proof of residence to register on the same day. I think the cheaters get around it by having a registered voter verify that the new voter lives in that district. I’ve heard stories of one person verifying a bus load.
