This is absolutely wild — and so preposterous that I researched it myself assuming I would quickly debunk it, but no, this is absolutely real.
It has just been revealed that Minnesota has a law allowing registered voters to “vouch for” up to eight other people in their district.
No ID needed.
No proof of residency required.
Just: “he’s good, trust me bro!”
I realize that “vouching” for someone really seems like the least scientific, least “legal” thing possible, but it’s actually real.
And is actually not new. The law has been on the books since the 1990s, so we can’t even claim it’s a new creation to benefit the Somali scams.
But regardless of it’s origin or purpose, it seems like one of the worst ideas ever — UNLESS….you want to get as much illegal voting as possible? Then it seems like a really great idea.
Heck, why stop at 8? Why not go up to 50?
