It was sure nice for the Star Tribune to pat our good public servant Secretary of State Mark Ritchie on the back seeing he is trying so hard to make voting "simpler, less error prone".

                            Ritchie's proposals are rich with detail, as befits the work of one who 
                            has mastered the intricacies of his field. More analysis -- and hopefully 
                            more ideas from a variety of sources -- will be needed before a full 
                           endorsement. But Ritchie is providing a valuable public service by starting
                           the discussion on moving the state's election system:

A "variety of sources"? I guess one of these sources could  be the Senate Republicans, but then bipartisanship only counts when Republicans go along with the Democrats. The Senate Republicans proposed voter ID required to vote. If you couldn't afford an ID one will be provided by the State The Dems shot that down.


So, Common Cause set out to determine how to improve our elections........

Jeez, missing the same thing again! Requiring a valid ID to vote! What a concept!
