Voter ID Debate Comes to Brainerd

A debate on the pros and cons of a proposed voter ID program for Minnesota will feature two state legislators at Central Lakes College Wednesday.

Sponsored by the Gordon Rosenmeier Center for State and Local Government, the event starts at 7 p.m. in Chalberg Theatre on the Brainerd campus.

Speakers will be State Representatives Steve Simon and Mary Kiffmeyer, who will present opposing views on the bill that, if it became law, would require voters to have photo ID cards in order to cast a ballot in future elections.

A special invitation is extended to city, county, and township officials to attend. A question-answer period concludes the forum.
