The Governor has vetoed another piece of election reform legislation, this time the omnibus elections bill.  Among other changes, this bill would have moved primaries from September to the second Tuesday in August, required  MnSCU schools to provide expanded housing lists for students to use to register, establish local absentee ballot boards to handle absentee ballots instead of election judges, provide a way for voters to check on the status of their absentee ballot, provide a way for voters to check online if they are registered to vote, and other administrative changes, many of which would help keep the registration list up-to-date and accurate. The Governor again cited lack of bipartisan support as his primary motive for the veto.
