Minnesota Majority is leading the effort to require citizens to show a photo identification in order to vote. An image on the group’s website shows people lined up at a voting booth, including three in what appear to be Halloween costumes, along with an African-American man dressed in a striped prison uniform and another person in a mariachi costume.

6. Sen. Bob Corker, Republican, Tennessee

 

Corker is the largest landowner in Hamilton County, Tennessee. He was accused, when mayor of Chattanooga, of illegally using his position to push through a land deal between one of his companies and Wal-Mart. The 15th richest congressman, Corker’s average net worth in 2010 was $59,550,022, according to the Post. And he’s a fan of the Bush tax cuts, which unsurprisingly keep his own taxes low.

 

Corker’s constituents in Tennessee have a median wage just over $40,000 a year, and 17.7 percent of them are below the federal poverty line. Twenty-six percent of Tennessee’s children, 29 percent of its African-American population, 34 percent of its Latinos and 36 percent of its Native American residents live in poverty, while 11.3 percent are unemployed and a full 17 percent used SNAP benefits to get through the last year.
