Voters in Minnesota are being asked to approve a constitutional amendment that requires photo identification at the polls.

Peggy Flanagan, a member of the White Earth Nation, said there are too many unanswered questions about the proposal. She said it's unclear if tribal IDs will be accepted at the polls.

“If this passes that means that this (tribal ID) is no longer valid. For me, that’s a lawsuit. I hope we don’t have to get there. I hope we can defeat this at the polls,” Flanagan said at a rally, The Twin Cities Planet.

On Monday, the Minnesota Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the proposed amendment. It will appear on the November ballot.
