News from Minnesota (e-mail from a friend)

[LAS14]

One piece of news. The DOJ has selected Minnesota to be one of the states they will “monitor” for illegal, fraudulent or problematic election or voting procedures. They had planned to send armed federal officers. Our governor said, “no way”. Then they switched to unarmed federal officers or US attorney staff people stationed inside our polling places. Again, our governor’s response: “no way”. So now they are sending lowly legal assistants to stand outside and field complaints or questions. I love our governor, Tim Walz. I think Barr is doing more to undercut trust in our government than even Trump at times.

1. Waste of time. Minnesota elections are probably among the cleanest anywhere

in the United States. Nothing for the DOJ to see here.

4. That's why it was so important for Barr to fuck it up.

Now we know what Barr's been up to.

Or at least we know part of it...

5. Thank goodness elections are governed by state laws,

and that our Governor told Bill Barr to pound sand. We live in the United STATES of America, not the Federal Republic of America.

2. we have rules and I trust our officials who we elected to enforce the rules, democrat or republican.

Having said that, I trust NO republican to follow the rules as history shows us that too

3. Minnesota Doesn't Appear Close Enough To Steal nt

6. Don't be so sure

The polls appear to show Biden up by 4-5 points in MN... and there have been far more polls run (which helps)... but Clinton only won the state by ~1.5%, and the two polls that were run in the week or so prior to the election showed her up by 10.

9. Drumpf Would Need To Flip It

At least so far, the media has given him almost zero chance of flipping a state he lost in '16.

7. I live in Minnesota and can confirm

Just got done voting and saw some sort of official looking vehicle in the parking lot as I was leaving. Marked with a sign with something to the effect of Q&A offered.

8. Pretty ass backward when the DOJ is monitering MN not GA

Just sayin'.
