Voter registration cards found in car.

ST. PAUL - When police at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport stopped a man for running a stop sign late last month, they found an unusual stash in his car trunk: More than 300 voter registration cards that had been filled out but never submitted to the Minnesota secretary of state.

1. This story stinks

big time.:crazy:

Now he faces an investigation that could lead to felony charges against him or perhaps others for violating election laws. The law requires that cards be submitted to the secretary of state within 10 days of being filled out and signed, but the cards found in the car trunk were weeks or months old.


After the stop, airport police seized the voter registration cards, and an investigator took them to the secretary of state's office, where workers photocopied the cards and returned them to police to hold as evidence.


Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer asked metro-area county election officials to accept the photocopies as valid registrations.


All but a handful of the affected voters, those whose cards became illegible because of water damage in the car trunk, apparently are now validly registered.



Just curious, how much does Duluth sopport shrub?
