Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon is openly defying President Trump by refusing to turn over the state’s voter registration list to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Simon insists he needs legal justification for the request even though the Helping America Vote Act requires states to verify voter rolls against federal databases to confirm eligibility. His stance flies in the face of the 77 million Americans who voted for President Trump to restore election integrity.
This is part of a broader pattern: blue states blocking voter ID laws, ignoring federal election rules, and stonewalling transparency in how they handle ballots.
