Investigator claims over 5% of registrations in a Minnesota county used dubious vouching system
Citizen investigators say more than 5% of voter registrations in a Minnesota county were processed through a vouching method that allows each voter to endorse up to eight others without additional checks.
A group of citizen investigators reported that a single Minnesota county has more than 5% of its voter registrations authenticated via a vouching process that permits each voter to endorse up to eight additional individuals without further verification. They estimate this could involve over 13,000 questionable voters, a figure that gains significance given the narrow margin of the 2024 presidential race in the state. The article references earlier demonstrations by James O’Keefe and Cam Higby, who allegedly used the system to register multiple fraudulent votes while disguising themselves.
Critics contend that the lack of ID requirements makes the system vulnerable to abuse and call on the Senate to pass comprehensive election-integrity legislation. The piece also draws parallels to alleged ballot-harvesting practices in Los Angeles, suggesting a broader pattern of vulnerabilities in states that allow similar registration methods.
Why it matters
If accurate, the alleged loophole could affect close elections and prompt calls for stricter voter-registration rules.
