I doubt the validity of the data in Classic's post above
about Minnesota, but even if true, how could be interpreted ?

From the same link posted above

Quote:
The result is that 9.2 percent of the state’s 8.2 million voters
are suddenly at risk of losing their right to vote. Eighteen percent of the registered voters
in Philadelphia do not have government issued photographic identification.
Minnesota had a population about 5million / 12million of Pennsylvania in 2011.
So assuming the same ratios of eligible voters at risk (9.2%) and of registered voters with no ID (18%)...

... 5/12 X 8,200,000 X 0.092 X 0.18 = ~ 56,000

Thus the Republicans are asserting it is better for
56,600 eligible voters lose their right to vote than have
143 people cast fraudulent votes.


I seriously disagree.
