Did Donald Trump Carry Minnesota?
Powerline ^ | January 26, 2017 | John Hinderaker

Voter fraud is in the news again, with President Trump vowing an investigation and the liberal media assuring us that voter fraud does not exist. My question is always: why are they so confident that there is little or no fraud, when so few efforts are made to look for it?

Here in Minnesota, there is no possible way for anyone to know how much voter fraud occurred last November. Minnesota is a same-day registration state, and more than 500,000 voters register on the day of a presidential election. The Minnesota Voters Alliance explains why that is a problem:

Two quick things that should give you a better understanding of what we are complaining about… When the average folks learn about this, they are shocked!

1. First, here is a short video that [former Secretary of State] Mark Ritchie did a few years ago on Capitol Report, which clearly shows there are EIGHT different databases (however insufficient) that all new Registrants are checked against, either BEFORE, or AFTER, the election:

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Notice that he conveniently FAILS TO MENTION that NONE Of these checks are done for persons (about 15% to 20% of the voters) who register on election day. Same day registrants aren’t checked for MONTHS AFTER the election is certified.

Voter Registration Application’s (VRA’s) are not entered and verified until AFTER the election. Statute allows the counties 42 days to enter the data, unless they need even more time. VRA’s have to be entered before they can be checked or compared to any databases!!

2. Here is the other link…on the SOS website showing that Election Day Registrants in presidential election years average OVER 500,000. 2016 is only showing 340,000 because that number is not complete, it will more than likely exceed 550,000 when are ALL finally entered into the Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS). Notice all PRESIDENTIAL election years have exceeded 500,000. (2016 could be closer to 600K due to newly adopted NO EXCUSE Absentee Voting.)

Finally, … the truth is that [Secretary of State] Simon doesn’t know for certain that Hillary won Minnesota because over 500,000 people have NOT BEEN CHECKED AT ALL YET. Seems to me like it’s FAKE NEWS for the SOS to to tell the people of MN that Hillary won the election in MN when he simply does not know, nor could he know.

Voter fraud is concentrated among same-day registrants, and nearly all illegal ballots are cast for Democrats. Hillary Clinton reportedly won Minnesota by around 45,000 votes. This means that if 10% of those who same-day registered also voted illegally (non-citizens, convicted felons, already voted in another state, etc.), Donald Trump probably carried the state. But the result can’t be changed because Minnesota doesn’t have provisional voting. The votes of the 500,000 to 600,000 people who registered on election day have been counted.

Do I think it is likely that Trump carried Minnesota? No. But we probably will never know, and we certainly don’t know now. Trump’s investigation into voter fraud is long overdue.

Trump knows that the Dummycrat party is carried by two things.

1. A biased media.
2. Corruption and voter fraud. The dummycrats have not won an election without cheating since 1940

Trump knows if he can break those two pillars of The Dummycrats he will free the American people from their racist, evil, Bolshevik rule forever

This is how “Democrats” win the “popular voter” and further demonstrates why the Electoral College is so important for Americans.

Minnesota. I still have memories of how Franken stole the Senate seat there from Norm Coleman after five or so recounts.

Yeah, well the Dems said there was no fraud in 2012 when 108% of the registered voters voted Democrat.

There should be no same day registration, no early voting and everyone should be required to show ID.

But He CERTIFIED it under Penalty of Perjury, now the FBI has Grounds to SEIZE THE VOTER REGISTRATION RECORDS and get to the bottom of the Fraud going on.

"more than 500,000 voters register on the day of a presidential election"

WHAT???

So on election day half a million people show up to register? Common sense tells you a large portion of these "voters" are fraudulent.

That number isn’t any more than registered same day in 2012. Changed registrations are included.

Whenever states attempt efforts to make voter fraud harder, the feds sue them and force them to stop.

That should tell you all you need to know.

In “How Trumo Won” we quote PPD pollster Richard Baris who said outside of Minny/St Paul Trump won MN 2:1 on election day, lost state on early vote.

Expect he MSM to make a huge deal over Ivanka being registered to vote in two states. That doesn’t mean she VOTED twice it just means she moved.

I am sure this is quite a common issue with so many people moving around during the course of a lifetime.

There clearly is a need for voter registration to be more efficient and perhaps even permanent - like our SS numbers with respect to Federal elections. For State elections, a current drivers license might be more appropriate plus a copy of a current income tax return proving residence etc.,

States have access to birth and death records and should use the information to update voter records efficiently.

The ID needs to have info regarding voting eligibility as well. Our pastor is an election judge in west central Minnesota and doesn’t say much, but has told a story in which the person had ID, couldn’t say the name on it, but had the ID so was able to cast a ballot.

Right now you just have to have a utility bill, mortgage statement, etc if you don’t have an ID.

And, obviously, noncitizens voting are voting democrat. He says that every year there are voters who come out of the voting booth confused when they get to the positions that don’t have party listings (township board, soils and water district board, judges, etc) asking,”where democrat? Which one democrat? How to vote democrat?” All ESL speakers and quite likely noncitizens as well.

It’s maddening to live in places with rampant fraud and the powers that be do nothing to stop it. Funny how no one ever mentions that legal voters might feel “disenfranchised “ by observing continual voter fraud.

The electoral college is not enough to protect us. We need to take advantage of the fact that it did protect us this one time and make ending voter fraud a top priority.
