Minnesota city “likely disposed of” 21 missing ballots in a race that was decided for the Democrat incumbent by a margin of 14 votes, according to an investigation.
The county attorney for Scott County, Minnesota, said that the city of Shakopee “likely” tossed 21 ballots without counting them. While it is currently unknown how those votes would have broken down, the state House race for seat 54A — which could have determined party control for the Republicans — has been called for the Democrat.
The current makeup of the state House is a 67-67 tie. The investigation is ongoing.
“The preliminary investigation into the 21-ballot discrepancy hasn’t been determinative thus far, and it appears likely to be the result of human error that occurred during the collection of early absentee ballots at the City of Shakopee. This unfortunate situation resulted in a level of confusion that should not have occurred,” County Attorney Ron Hocevar said in a press release.

They should toss all the votes from that district.
Maybe that would motivate the citizens to choose better election officials.
They have been stealing Minnesota the last few cycles
Horse stealing had a certain “penalty”.
Laura is trying to get Rubio’s seat.. she’s kinda busy with that I guess.

Minnesota is 100% ran by democrat’s.. who just overhauled our state election system and this is a state house seat.
wana try again?
If it is found as a fact (and the usual standard is “more probable than not”) that more ballots were discarded than the margin between the candidates, the election should be nullified and a new election mandated. With strict controls and observance by both contestants.
I thought they were to keep the ballots, no matter whether they were counted or not. Why would they throw them away?
Destruction of evidence of a crime ?
