Fraud has been and continues to be a major topic of conversation, especially as the Fraud & Oversight Committee has met regularly over the interim period.

This week’s fraud committee hearing revealed troubling information about Minnesota’s election process, including reports that some individuals may be able to register or vote using only a driver’s license. Because a driver’s license can be obtained without strict proof of eligibility, this creates serious concerns about voter verification. Election integrity is foundational to our democracy, and safeguards must be in place to block fraud before it can happen. I will continue supporting efforts to strengthen voter ID laws and ensure our elections are secure, fair, and trusted by all Minnesotans.
