Voting Integrity Issues - Citizens Demand Reforms

St. Paul – Today Minnesota Majority held a press conference announcing that it is filing a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice. A review of Minnesota’s voter registration rolls prior to the election revealed a number of irregularities. Minnesota Majority requested the Secretary of State and officials in 30 different counties to conduct investigations into these irregularities. Authorities have thus far been largely unresponsive or dismissive. The complaint cites a number of provisions under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) that require the Secretary of State to perform certain voter registration verifications on a regular basis. The group contends that the Secretary of State has failed to perform these verifications.
