WATCH LIVE: State Senate Debates Voter ID Amendment

Watch live a the Minnesota Senate committee that holds a hearing today into the proposed Constitutional amendment to requre voters to show photo ID.

Some are saying the new voter ID law will prevent people from even showing up to the polls, and they say that the law discriminates against people who are poor and homeless. But a poll done by Marquette University–Wisconsin is also looking at the law–indicated that the majority of the registered voters they asked (a sample size of 701 registered voters) said they favored the law.

One of the arguments made against the law has to do with the requirement that after a person proves their identity, they'll also be asked to sign the poll book before they can receive a provisional ballot.

Lawyers for the League of Women Voters are also challenging Wisconsin's law because they say it disenfranchises voters and creates "a poll tax."

A formal group has not stepped up, as of yet, to oppose the Minnesota Voter ID propsosal.

If it is passed, the Voter ID Amendment could be on the 2012 ballot.
