- Minnesota Republicans Suggested Proof Of Citizenship For Voter Eligibility Despite The Secretary Of State Asserting The Case Was “About Individuals Who Conspired To Submit False Voter Registration Applications” And Not “Fraudulent Votes” According to KTTC, “Minnesota’s Secretary of State, Steve Simon, went before the Minnesota House Fraud Committee on Tuesday morning, testifying about a case of voter registration fraud that was charged this past June. Several months ago, the U.S. Attorney announced charges against two Nevada residents who’d allegedly committed voter registration fraud during the 2022 election cycle. The pair is said to have submitted several fraudulent voter registrations, using the fraudulent submissions to collect money from a foundation that encourages voters to register. ‘This is a case about individuals who conspired to submit false voter registration applications,’ said Simon. ‘This is not a case about fraudulent votes.’ [...] ‘Would you support having proof of citizenship as part of the way we verify eligibility in Minnesota?’ asked Rep. Kristin Robbins (R-Maple Grove), Chair of the House Fraud Prevention Committee. Simon responded with an anecdote about Kansas, which enacted a similar law. ‘30,000 eligible Kansas voters—as eligible as you are or I am—were turned away because they couldn’t produce the proper proofs. I don’t think we want to be that in Minnesota,’ he said.” [KTTC, 10/15/25]
