Anti-Voter ID group to protest at St. Paul Wells Fargo
A group opposing a proposed state constitutional amendment that would require voters to show identification is rallying at the Capitol this morning.
The group then plans to move at noon to the Wells Fargo bank building on Wabasha Street in downtown St. Paul, to continue the protest. Buses will take people from the Capitol to downtown.
The protest group, led by TakeAction Minnesota, says in a statement that it's targeting Wells Fargo on the Voter ID issue, because:
The same 1% forces of extreme greed that crashed the economy, including big banks like Wells Fargo, are now attacking Minnesota’s democracy, including the most fundamental right — the right to vote.
The group claimed Wednesday that bank executives and conservative groups are contributing to legislative supporters of Voter ID.
