Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman hold a joint news conference to discuss concerns over the costs to their cities and changes to elections administration resulting from an amendment which would significantly restrict the voting rights of eligible Minnesota voters. City officials are opposed to the unfunded mandate state legislators want to impose on residents of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and concerned about the extent to which the counties will have to overhaul their elections systems.
