LIVE VIDEO: Photo ID Amendment Up for Final Legislative Vote

The Minnesota Senate will decide today whether November's ballot should have a proposed constitutional amendment that would—if passed by Minnesota voters—make photo IDs a requirement on Election Day.

The Senate will be taking up the bill right on the heels of the House's final approval, which came shortly after midnight Tuesday.

The issue has divided the Legislature on party lines, with Republican supporters saying it would add integrity to Minnesota's election system, while Democratic opponents say the measure is unnecessary and could disenfranchise some voters.

Edina's legislators have been strongly in support of the bill, with State Rep. Keith Downey arguing laws in other states.
