Minnesota GOP claims election 'abnormalities' without evidence

Election officials on Friday swiftly rejected claims by Minnesota Republican Party Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan that "extreme data abnormalities" might have influenced the state's Nov. 3 election after her examples proved to be nothing more than instances of high voter turnout.

"The bottom line is you can't just throw out conjecture and guesswork without real evidence," said Risikat Adesaogun, spokeswoman for the Minnesota Secretary of State's office. It was "hard to respond to allegations that are so vague and unformed."

And now she has to get on the bandwagon even though her allegations are absurd. For decades MN has had a squeaky-clean election process and consistently very high voter turnout with absolutely no instances of voter fraud, although the GOP has been trying without success to impose draconian voter ID requirements to keep Black and Native people from voting.

I agree. I want to know what 3% sheriff's deputy was guarding the ballots in trump-humping areas.
