Also here are other related threads where this topic is discussed on Newsmax and in the local Minneapolis/St. Paul media. Do you really think they would have gone to press on this one unless they couldn't have confirmed the original source themselves?!

OK. I accept the accuracy of your quote.
The only difference I see is that they say "young people" instead of "young Minnesotans" (presumably they made it more explicit in response to the public outcry). Still, you must make a logical leap to the conclusion that they intend to register non-Minnesotans. Nothing in the text justifies that conclusion. The fact that originally, they didn't explicitly say "We're not committing fraud!" is not evidence of fraud.
Anyway, is conspiracy to commit voter fraud the sort of thing they'd publicly announce?
