“Minnesota has election-day voter registration: Show up at the polls with some documents establishing who you are and where you live, and you can vote. . . .

“Minnesota law [also] allows a registered voter to bring six unregistered ones with him or her to the polls — and allows those six each to bring one more — the potential for swelling student turnout, and the Wellstone vote, is considerable.”
