Voter ID Myths De-Mystified by Lucky

Lucky Rosenbloom, Member of the State Council of Black Minnesotans, takes voting rights and voting very seriously. He eloquently states his case for passing the Voter ID Amendment. His words are filled with passion and a wonderful ability to sprinkle humor with his message. His presentations are very moving and interesting. Demonstrating the falsity of the opposition arguments that often fall back on blaming an "incapable citizenry" as the reason to oppose this movement supported by 80 percent of the people.

I have been to League of Women Voters Myths presentations, where untruths and myths about this issue are spoken with little evidence or chance for rebuttal. And the cloistered attitude of never letting a video be taken and shown are strong (see this video from another LWV session). 

At a congressional convention this weekend, April 21, I first met "Mr. Lucky" and had the experience of seeing his dynamic personality and message.
