IE on ID

From Rochester, MN, news of a PAC-sponsored (and impressively footnoted) billboard: “Democrat Andy Welti opposes photo ID to vote. Do you?”
Later in the article, the Republican candidate in the race explains his support for requiring photo ID at the polls “because of concerns that surfaced during the 2008 U.S. Senate recount between Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken” — which was almost entirely a tussle over absentee ballots (which ID-at-the-polls rules do not affect).
