Minnesota Elections Official Confirms Troubling Gaps in Voter Eligibility Rules

Clear Facts
- Minnesota Director of Elections Paul Linnell admitted illegal immigrants can vote using driver’s licenses.
- Voters affirm eligibility by signing despite Social Security mismatches.
- Fraud reports occur only if votes are challenged by officials.
Rep. Patti Anderson questioned state election practices during a legislative hearing.
Officials confirmed driver’s licenses serve merely as identity affirmation, not proof of voter eligibility.
“They get their driver’s license, because again we give them to anybody here,”
“they register to vote, it doesn’t match with the Social Security number so they’re flagged,”
“but they come in and as long as they have an ID, which is the driver’s license, and they sign that they’re—ya know—eligible to vote, they can vote and they’re no longer flagged, is that correct?”
“So the answer to my question is yes,”
Anderson clarified after Linnell’s evasive response.
Democrats resist stricter voter ID laws while blue states issue licenses to non-citizens.
GOP senators block the SAVE America Act needed to secure elections for citizens only.
Demand passage of the SAVE America Act to stop illegal voting threats now.

A person should “be” a citizen to vote in “any” election !!!
If States are going to give driver’s licenses to “non-citizens” — then it should be a “special” license showing that they are “not” a citizen !!! That would eliminate problems that require citizenship only persons !!!
