Minnesota day care scandal sparks concern over election policy that allows a voter to ‘vouch’ for others: ‘Made for fraud’

A controversial Minnesota election policy that allows a single registered voter to “vouch” for up to eight people seeking same-day registration is under fire amid the state’s massive fraud scandal tied to the Somali community there.

Under Minnesota law, the registered voter must go with the person or people they are vouching for to the polling place and sign an oath verifying their address, according to the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State.

“A registered voter from your precinct can go with you to the polling place to sign an oath confirming your address. This is known as ‘vouching.’ A registered voter can vouch for up to eight voters,” the website reads.

Those being vouched for still must provide at least one form of identity verification, which includes a valid Minnesota driver’s license or learner’s permit, a “receipt” for them, or a tribal identification card that includes a photo and signature, according to the rules.

Yeah, this is totally above board :rolleyes
