How one Dem-ruled state ensures massive vote fraud

Al Franken was a writer for a TV show.  He's not very smart, but is a solid liberal.  And a few years ago he ran for an open senate seat for the state of Minnesota.

According to the open, published records the initial vote showed Franken lost, but the race was close and Franken called for a re-count.  According to the first few re-counts he still lost.  But then, mysteriously, entire boxes of ballots were supposedly "discovered" by Democrat election officials, in closets and even in the trunk of a car.

Amazingly, almost all of the ballots supposedly belatedly "discovered" were marked for Franken.  And when the third recount showed enough votes to let a judge declare Franken the winner, the Dems demanded that all investigation stop, and Franken was declared the winner...by 312 votes.

Franken later accounted for the crucial vote that passed the disaster known as Obamacare.

Mission accomplished, eh?

At that time Minnesota law barred felons from voting.  But among the dozens of anomalies about that election, later investigation showed that over 1000 felons had voted.

Surveys have shown that felons vote Democrat by over 90 percent. 

Democrats have ruled Minnesota for decades.  Republicans have identified dozens of...let's call them "quirks"...in the state's voting laws, but every time they try to change the law to close one of these many...loopholes...the Democrats reject the changes, screaming that the changes amount to "voter supression."

Here's how Minnesota Democrats have managed to allow vote fraud.

Self-certification.  Minnesota law says you can't vote if you're not a citizen, or are a felon, or live outside the precinct.  But that same law allows anyone to still vote if they simply tell the election judge that they're eligible to vote.

Nothing more is needed, just the individual's statement.  This is allowed even if the election judge knows the person is a felon on parole

The Minnesota Voters Alliance painstakingly confirmed that 1,000 felons illegally voted in the 2008 senatorial election that Al Franken, a Democrat,  won by 312 votes.

Same day registration.  This is how the majority of voter fraud happens. In Minnesota, 500,000 people typically register to vote on election-day in presidential election years.  No one tries to verify whether they're eligible to vote, and their ballots are identical to all others.  Thus their votes count.

After the election is over--after the votes by those who registered the samebv day have been counted--counties send a postcard to the address each voter claimed as theirs.  After the 2008 election, the state couldn’t confirm the addresses of 17,000 voters.

Another 31,000 other voters were found to have been ineligible to vote.  But as you already guessed, the votes of all 48,000 of these questionable voters counted in the election Al Franken won by just 312 votes.

Social Security Number.  Because Minnesota is ruled by Democrats, state law doesn't require photo-ID to vote.  If a person claims they don't have a driver’s license or other valid ID, they can register and vote simply by supplying a name, date of birth, and the last four digits of a Social Security number.

To the surprise of no one, the Legislative Auditor found that thousands of voters registered in this manner in 2016  didn't match any record in the Social Security Administration's database.
 
Vouching.  In Minnesota a person without ID is allowed to vote just by having another voter “vouch” for his address.  In other states such ballots are termed “provisional,” and the data provided is checked for authenticity before the vote is counted.  But thanks to Democrat rule, Minnesota counts all votes as valid even if it’s later proven that an individual voted illegally.

The Minnesota Secretary of State is in charge of elections, and that office has been in Democratic hands for 30 years. Provisional ballot legislation, which would fix this problem, always gets killed by Democrats in the legislature  or vetoed by a Democratic Governor.

Physical assistance in marking ballots.  Minnesota law says you can't vote if you're incompetent.  But despite this law, any person deemed incompetent can vote by asking for assistance from anyone the voter chooses. 

Not surprisingly, there are documented cases of exploitation of mentally challenged adults in healthcare facilities who were “assisted” in filling out ballots. When caught, the manager of one residential home said voting gave his residents a feeling of importance and was good for them. 

Coverup.  To find out how many people were illegally registered to vote, two years ago the Minnesota Voters Alliance sued the state's Secretary of State to force him to release public data from the state's voter registration database.  Both a District Court and the Minnesota Court of Appeals have ordered that official to release the data but he has refused, instead appealing those orders to the state's Supreme Court.

It is outrageous that the very person charged with running honest elections has not only done nothing to reduce fraud, but is actively blocking measures to find out how much fraud exists.

Early voting.  Democrats use taxpayer money and their authority to regulate to further their own elections. During 2018, the City of Minneapolis spent $1.2 million setting up two early voting stations in Somali neighborhoods that vote almost exclusively Democratic.  One consequence of these taxpayer funded early voting sites was the election of the controversial Ilhan Omar to the U.S House of Representatives. Democrats using taxpayer money, to further their own elections. Early voting is just another way that Democrats abuse the system.

Absentee Ballots There are expected to be nearly one million absentee ballots cast in the 2020 elections.  And, because of an illegal tule created by Steve Simon, Minnesota’s Secretary of State, all of the absentee ballot board members doing the accepting and rejecting of ballot envelopes are hand picked by the appointing authority and not taken from the lists submitted by the major political parties as the law requires. Thus, there is no party balance oversight of the absentee ballot process.

In 2016, Trump lost Minnesota to Hillary Clinton by a mere 44,000 votes. There's far more than enough vote fraud in Minnesota to account for that margin.
