Minnesota's secretary of state, Mark Ritchie, a Democrat, acting in concert with the state's attorney general, Lori Swanson, a Democrat, intends to change the titles of the constitutional amendments regarding marriage and voter photo ID.

Ritchie believes, apparently nudged by Swanson, that he has found state law under which the secretary of state shall provide an appropriate title for ballot questions. Legislative attorneys believe that Ritchie's perceived authority would only come into play when the lawmakers do not provide a title.

Well, let's see. Did the Legislature offer titles?

For the so-called marriage amendment, the language passed by the Legislature is: "Recognition of Marriage Solely Between One Man and One Woman."

These “Secretaries of State” are the very group that Soros has targeted as necessary to fulfill his plans for destroying America. He is one of the few who realize that they have enormous power and say so over how the laws of the states are administered, especially election laws. As the man said,”Its not who votes that matters, but who counts the votes.” And that my friends is the Secretary of State.

“Ritchie is a self-professed DFL activist — it's all over his bio — and DFL activists reject the idea of marriage existing only between one man and one woman and they reject the idea of requiring a photo ID to vote because they contend that would disenfranchise too many voters who can't get a government-issued photo ID.”

Why do they use initials in reporting this?

It shouldn't be that much trouble to spell out DFL,
ie...Dumb F’in Liberal.

If Mary Kiffmeyer(R) had done this when she was SOS, the DFL legislators would be strapping on bomb belts and blockading the state capitol.
