"It'll Cost Ya"

Second verse, same as the first.  Mercury Rising:
That’s right, folks: The good folk of Kittson County are being asked by the Minnesota Republican Party to shell out nearly $112 for every man, woman and child in the county, and to pay for something that won’t fight fraud but will make it harder for legal voters like shut-ins, veterans, and college kids to vote.
See also the first comment.

Really, it's Republican Satanic panic.

ETA:  Not only Republican Satanic panic, it would seem that voter fraud is a Republican sport.  Bradblog (via skippy):
Apparently, the only "portion of what happened" that could be "classified as fraud", at this time, was courtesy of Vos' own wife.

For the record, it's unclear from the new reports whether Samantha Vos voted in person or via absentee. If by absentee --- the way that voter fraud is usually carried out, in the instances where it occurs --- there is no polling place Photo ID law in the world that would have kept her from doing so. If she voted in person at the polling place, despite having declared herself a resident of Idaho earlier this year, it's likely she still retained an unexpired WI driver's license and so, even under her own husband's strict polling place Photo ID restriction law, likely would have had no problem casting her fraudulent votes this year.
Amputating a leg to cure a cold?
