Dan Severson is the Secretary of State candidate running on a slew of fabricated issues to scare people into thinking making it more difficult to vote is more fair. One of his biggest issues is the desire to add more procedures and big government to fix a non-existant problem: photo identification requirements for voting — because going through non-cumpulsatory voter registration and requiring a signature is not enough, right?

Anyway, he proved at the Minnesota State Fair how effective his proposed photo identification requirements will be when everyone can create their own fake IDs. As if our election judges need more work to fix a problem that doesn’t exist. More on his Facebook page.

I can’t say enough about why placing ID-requirements-to-vote as a campaign issue is so dumb. Especially when you’re running against arguably the most level-headed and fair person in recent Minnesota political history, Mark Ritchie. I don’t know how Severson sleeps on his platform of “integrity,” noting everything he stands for has no integrity at all.
