Yesterday, October 21, Minnesota Majority finally received an official written reply to our October 16 letter to the Secretary of State regarding inconsistencies we discovered in the state's voter file. We found the letter, authored by Deputy Secretary of State Jim Gelbmann, to be dismissive of our concerns. For example, Mr. Gelbmann claimed not to understand what we meant by the definition of a "vacant" address.  He also said the Secretary of State does not remove deceased individuals from active voter rolls until at least two elections cycles have passed in which the individual did not vote.  Are they concerned about disenfranchising dead voters? 

Today Minnesota Majority responded to the Deputy's letter by submitting a second letter requesting a comprehensive validation of the Minnesota voter file.  In our second letter we included the results of additional analysis which suggests that there may be thousands of duplicate voter registration records on the voter file and possible instances of voter fraud.

TAKE ACTION:  Contact Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and ask him to complete a comprehensive verification of Minnesota's voter file prior to this year's election.
