Edina acknowledged that the ballots were "left unattended" but were "not tampered with."..
City and county officials have responded to a photo posted online that shows boxes of ballots left unattended in an open trunk outside Edina City Hall Friday.
“Do these ballots look secure to you?” Senate District 50 Republicans posted on the social media platform X.
...
A communications director for the city responded to the post, writing: “The vehicle pictured is a Hennepin County courier that came to pick up Edina’s absentee ballots this morning. Inside his vehicle are ballots that he picked up from other cities before coming to Edina. All transfer cases were received in sealed condition, and all expected ballots are accounted for by Hennepin County, according to Daniel Rogan, Hennepin County Auditor.”
The city then published a statement issued by Hennepin County along with surveillance video, which “shows the ballots in the County courier vehicle were not tampered with while left unattended.”
...
Election security is of utmost importance, and Hennepin County will reinforce its transfer protocols with all county staff and vendors. An incident like this underscores the value of strong chain-of-custody processes, so that risk can be addressed and integrity can be verified,” Rogan said in that statement.
...
Several legislators expressed concern about the incident on social media, with Republican Rep. Elliott Engen calling it “disrespectful to treat the voices and votes of Minnesotans with such little oversight.”
In these understandably polarized times, public officials should be pulling out all the stops to reassure us, the voters, are being respected by caring for our ballots as they deserve.
Trump district votes are attended....if you count trash collectors watching the dumpsters where they ended up in the landfill.
That ought to be criminal negligence and punished just as though it was an official who left bundles of taxpayer cash unattended on the sidewalk. Oh, wait a minute...
GOP Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota, who lost a 2008 recount to Al Franken, said he was up 756 votes on election night..
Perkins Coie Lawyer and Hillary Fixer, Marc Elias.. stole Minnesota for Al Franken..
ObamaCare needed Franken’s vote to pass.
That’s how Al Franken stole his senate seat
Marc Elias delivered fake ballots found in his car’s trunk : giving disgraced Al Franken the win by a tiny 312 vote margin. His victory gave Senate Democrats a filibuster-proof majority, which let them pass ObamaCare.
and republicans just rolled over and took it, as usual.
They’re going to do it again. It will come down to if they can cheat better than last time and if our side can defend against it. It seems defending against it is an uphill battle.
o, my precious, my precious mail in ballots!
So it begins.
Kamala will be installed.. like Biden’s 2020 installation
Surely, this transfer process should be under the control and monitoring of two (2) couriers—one from each party.
With all the crap going on in the swing states, they won’t know what happened when Trump steals NY.
Elections should be monitored by high school juniors as part of their American Civics curriculum.
Remember Kamala’s “War Cry” screaming at the top of her lungs, ferociously, fists in the air!
“Donald Trump should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States. Never again!
“Never again! Never again! Never again!”
not tampered with, really?
not tampered with, really?
Unattended = tampered with in my book.
Wonder who left them unattended, maybe a girl from Edina..?
