Is Steve Simon stealing elections?

When people vote absentee, they have a right to know whether the person handling the ballot is trustworthy. Because so much potentially rides on each ballot, it's essential that the people deciding which ballots are accepted or rejected are trustworthy. That's why it's essential that these people be listed. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Knowing who is assigned that responsibility is essential. This Liz Collin/Alpha News podcast explains what's been happening in "Hennepin County, Anoka County, and the city of Plymouth." Attorney Greg Joseph explained the lawsuit filed by him on "behalf of [the] Minnesota Voters Alliance."

Alpha News reported "The petition asks the Minnesota Supreme Court to make a decision prior to absentee ballots becoming available to the public on Sept. 18." Joseph is then quoted as saying "These are the people who are deciding elections one way or the other and absentee ballots made up something like 40% of the total ballots cast in the last election, and then in 2020, the general election, they made up 60% of all ballots. So we’re talking about a very sizable chunk of ballots in the state."

Further, Greg Joseph explained that we need transparency in the system but also accountability:

"the people who are accepting and rejecting these ballots, there’s a lot of trust placed in those people. And so the legislature wanted us to know who those people are. The reason for that is because we have transparency, but it also restores a layer of accountability. If the people who are accepting and rejecting ballots know that their names are public, that the people know who they are, they’re going to be a lot less likely to engage in any sort of shenanigans.”
We need people who will check their partisanship at the door. Positions like this require people of consistent integrity. People of inconsistent integrity create questions and doubt.

The time when we trust blindly are finished. Trust is earned, not automatically given by job title. It's worth noting that David said that "the legislature wanted us to know who those people are. The reason for that is because we have transparency, but it also restores a layer of accountability." Ballot integrity isn't the only thing riding on this decision of the Minnesota Supreme Court. The integrity of the Minnesota Supreme Court is riding on this decision, too, as is the integrity of Steve Simon.

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
