Trump DOJ Probes Walz’s Voter Vouching System – One Person Vouches for 8 Voters?

Trump DOJ Probes Walz’s Voter Vouching System – One Person Vouches for 8 Voters?

MINNEAPOLIS — The Trump Department of Justice has zeroed in on yet another major scandal in Minnesota under Governor Tim Walz — and this one could blow the lid off widespread voter fraud.

A new investigation by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon is demanding full records on Minnesota’s extremely loose voter vouching system. The rule allows a single registered voter to vouch for the residency of up to eight other people seeking same-day registration — as long as they claim to be in the same precinct. Even worse, employees of residential facilities can vouch for an unlimited number of residents.

Those being vouched for are conveniently barred from vouching for anyone else, but the system still relies almost entirely on an oath under penalty of perjury. In a state already reeling from massive social services fraud, this “trust us” approach is raising red flags everywhere.

Scott Presler, founder of Early Vote Action, was the first to sound the alarm. He pointed out how easily the system can be exploited: one person vouches for eight, those eight show up, vote, and the chain reaction begins. An employee at a nursing home or shelter can vouch for dozens or even hundreds. Enforcement is nearly impossible — as Bill Glahn of the Center for the American Experiment put it, “It’s like murder’s illegal, but it happens all the time.”

Harmeet Dhillon Demands Answers
Dhillon sent a sweeping letter to Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon demanding records for all federal elections over the past 22 months. The request covers every same-day voter registration, every vouching document under Minn. Stat. 201.061, Subd. 3, and all related procedures. She gave the state just 15 days to comply.

This is not a polite request — it is a full compliance check to determine whether Minnesota’s practices violate federal election integrity laws.
