\n

President Donald Trump’s<\/a> Justice Department is demanding records from Minnesota related to its voter registration practices, raising concerns about the state\u2019s same-day “vouching” policy.<\/p>\n

The policy allows a registered voter to “vouch” for up to eight people seeking same-day registration, and it has come under fresh scrutiny amid broader concerns about election integrity in the wake of Minnesota\u2019s massive welfare fraud scandal.<\/p>\n

Assistant Attorney General<\/a> Harmeet Dhillon wrote to Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon on Friday, requesting unredacted records covering the March 2024 primary and the November 2024 general election.<\/p>\n

Dhillon called on the state to hand over digital records related to same-day registrations, votes cast by same-day registrants and audit and compliance records under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).<\/p>\n

“The basis and purpose of this demand is to ensure Minnesota\u2019s registration and voting practices are in compliance with federal law, particularly the minimum requirements under HAVA,” Dhillon wrote in the letter she shared<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

“The Department of Justice is particularly concerned with votes and registrations accepted on the basis of \u2018vouching\u2019 from other registered voters or residential facility employees, as well as other same-day registration procedures.”<\/p>\n

Minnesota\u2019s election system has drawn scrutiny after legislation signed by Gov. Tim Walz<\/a> in 2023 that provided for “Driver\u2019s Licenses for All,” allowing state-issued licenses regardless of immigration status. The policy also stipulates that the licenses carry no markings indicating citizenship, even though such IDs are among the forms of identification accepted during voter registration.<\/p>\n

Minnesota law separately allows same-day voter registration through a process known as “vouching,” under which a registered voter can attest to the residency of up to eight other voters who want to register on Election Day and do not present qualifying identification.<\/p>\n

According to an official fact sheet from the Minnesota Secretary of State\u2019s Office, the registered voter must accompany the person or people to the polling place and sign an oath verifying a home address.<\/p>\n

“A registered voter can vouch for up to eight<\/a> voters. You cannot vouch for others if someone vouched for you,” the department said in the fact sheet.<\/p>\n

Residents who are not vouched for and who want to vote on the same day must provide at least one form of identity verification, including a valid Minnesota driver\u2019s license or learner\u2019s permit, a receipt for either or a tribal identification card that includes a photo and signature.<\/p>\n

So long as the prospective voter can prove residency, the proof of ID can include a driver\u2019s license or learner\u2019s permit from any state, a passport, an expired ID, a military ID or a Minnesota college or high school identification card.<\/p>\n

If a person is registered to vote in a precinct but changed his name or moved within the precinct, the voter may still vote after informing the precinct election judge of a previous name or address.<\/p>\n

Simon\u2019s office did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.<\/p>\n

Dhillon\u2019s move was praised by Republican activist<\/a> Scott Presler, who leads voter registration efforts nationwide.<\/p>\n

“WOW! This is huge. Thank you so, so much,” Presler wrote in response to Dhillon\u2019s X post sharing her letter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
