Steve Simon

is offering no resources to combat this election interference.

Steve Simon is Minnesota's Secretary of State.

He tells the Washington Sun his office has been forced to spend $250,000 this year to hire a contractor to perform election integrity checks that Homeland Security used to perform until Trump returned to the White House, you might remember Homeland Security and the Department of Justice have been desperately trying to get their hands on Minnesota's voter rolls in the name of election integrity.

The Department of Homeland Security has a master list of United States citizen, and it's completely inaccurate.

The closure, which still requires approval by the State Board of Trustees, would leave M State with three remaining campuses in Moorhead, Fergus Falls, and Wadena.

Republican Tad Jude, who's challenging DFL Secretary of State Steve Simon, announced his business integrity plan today.

Ellie Roth has more.

Conversations about fraud are seeping into the Minnesota Secretary of State race.

Perfect.

Running against bitch-ass Steve Simon.

A moderate majority.

Just say it as it is.

Okay.

And that freaks people out.

And bitch ass Steve Simon refuses to take that language off of that petition.

Okay.

This ruling does not impact our processes in Iowa because of our participation in a previous lawsuit alongside a few other states, she wrote in an email.

In Minnesota, Steve Simon, the Secretary of State, said in a statement that the ruling would have no effect on the state's elections, in part because the use of the program is not permitted under state law.

Minnesotans should rest easy knowing that their right to vote won't be impeded by this faulty project, he said.

Angela Benender, a spokesman for Michigan's Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, said that Michigan had already been using SAVE in a limited capacity and that it would continue to do so.

Other races, we are going to see a number of candidates.

DFL Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon and his Republican challenger, Tad Jude, have yet to meet for a debate.

And as of the end of September, no meetings have been scheduled.

Anyway, we have to take our first break here of the Friday.

Arrests of individuals here in Minnesota via a press conference yesterday.

The Department of Justice, I think 10 individuals evolved, involved in election fraud, but we were all assured by, uh, Secretary of State Steve Simon this stuff didn't happen, and it, it, it does.

Also, uh, the DOJ condemning a handful of Minnesota judges for, uh, rushing to The New York Times to complain about Operation Metro Surge.

We have an update on Governor, uh, Tim Walz and his communist, uh, Minnesota Truth Council.

Bill Walsh, who will be in studio here in about an hour, writes, and as I mentioned the same thing yesterday, that thing that never happens happened again.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictments of 10 non-citizens who somehow voted in the 2024 Minnesota election.

This is despite the fact that Secretary of State Steve Simon, the waste of space, my words not his, that he is, has repeatedly assured Minnesotans that combing driver's licenses for, that combining, excuse me, driver's licenses for all with automatic voter registration would not lead to illegal voting.

He testified last year, we have a back-end AVR, automatic voter registration system, and the only folks who are eligible to even be in the pile to be considered registered to vote are those who produce a citizenship-affirming documentation at the time they apply for the ID.

States will still be allowed to make individualized inquiries about the voters.

Now, the Minnesota Secretary of State, Steve Simon, said he wanted to be very clear that this ruling had no effect on the Minnesota elections.

Minnesota has never used the SAVE program for voter verification.

We're not permitted in state law to do so, and we have no plans to do so.

Just saying.

Simon added that Minnesotans should know their right to vote will not be impacted by the Supreme Court's decision.

Thank you, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon.

Can we have a conversation about those driver's licenses for all? Can we have a conversation regarding whether or not we have any sort of election integrity here in Minnesota? That's what I thought.

They used the funds for personal travel, including to London, Sydney, Australia, Dubai, Istanbul, and Saudi Arabia, the Justice Department said.

Can you believe this? I mean, and this, Steve Simon, Secretary of State, wants to get reelected.

He's the guy that accepted their paperwork, or his department did, and they didn't do anything to shut him down.

An empire of corruption.

We've got to make sure that only legal citizens are voting.

Now, I relate that back to Minnesota's certificate that came out this morning.

The Office of Secretary of State, Steve Simon in Minnesota, says this.

Early voting numbers are up significantly compared to four years ago.
