Steve Simon faces new and urgent challenges

  Dear Friend,   I wanted to make sure you saw this message from Steve yesterday. With hours to go until the end of 2020, we’re just short of our fundraising goal.   As Steve mentioned, conspiracy theorists have started a “Stop Simon” fundraising page to raise money for lawsuits against Ste…

So proud...but need your help

  Dear Friend,   Overcoming extreme challenges, Minnesota achieved nation-leading success in 2020. It was an honor to be Secretary of State during such a test for our democracy.   The spread of COVID-19 meant that we had to administer a statewide election with public health in mind. We stro…

Minnesota is #1

  Dear Friend, We did it!  For the third election in a row, Minnesota is #1 in America in voter turnout. When I first became Secretary of State after the 2014 election, Minnesota was #6 in the nation. But in 2016, 2018, and now 2020 we claimed the top spot. At 79.96% of eligible voters, our …

Tomorrow Is A Test

  Dear Friend,   Tomorrow is a test. It's a test of whether our democracy is still fully intact. For the past few years, the people and the major institutions of our country have been stressed as never before. We can help to relieve that stress by making sure that the election is safe, secure…

Bad News Won't Stop Us

  Dear Friend,   With only days to go until the election, a federal appeals court just caused a tremendous and unnecessary disruption to our election system.    The court invalidated Minnesota's rule allowing voters to postmark ballots by Election Day (instead of having to get their ballots…

What I said on CNN about "poll-watchers" in Minnesota

  Dear Friend,   After President Trump urged his supporters to "go into the polls and watch very carefully," I went on CNN to set the record straight, In Minnesota, we will not have poll-watchers swarming the polling places. Period.      I explained that in Minnesota, our laws place spec…

Help Us Respond

  Dear Friend,   Sorry to bother you, but this is important: Today marks less than 34 days until election day. I'm working hard to ensure that every registered voter in Minnesota will have the opportunity to vote from home. This meant sending out 2.3 million absentee ballot applications t…

What I Told CNN

    Dear Friend,   Earlier this week, President Trump launched another apparent attack on voting by mail - even though he himself votes that way.    Expressing doubts about the integrity of the vote-by-mail process in North Carolina, the President suggested that his supporters should vo…

What I said on "Meet the Press" about the postal service

  Dear Friend,   I recently appeared on "Meet the Press Daily" with NBC's Chuck Todd to talk about the slowdowns at the U.S. Postal Service, which some have alleged are sabotage intended to slow the delivery of mail-in ballots in November.      Here's part of what I said: "Whoever i…

Is the Postal Service being undermined to delay ballot delivery?

  Dear Friend,   Recent and sudden U.S. Postal Service slowdowns could seriously delay the delivery of ballots in the November election.   President Trump's newly appointed U.S. Postmaster General has abruptly ended overtime pay that helps ensure daily mail pickup and delivery. He defends…

President Trump Cannot Delay The Election

  Dear Friend,   For months, President Trump has hinted that he could postpone the November general election. Today was his latest such suggestion:     In addition to being ugly and dangerous, the implied threats are empty.   He may have the appetite to delay voting, but he doesn't …

Confronting the President's Misinformation

What Happened In Georgia

  Dear Friend,   What happened in the Georgia primary election a few days ago was outrageous. It was yet another recent example of voters left to wait for hours in long lines - with some people turning away in disgust or frustration. The voters most affected were people of color - who were too…

In a pandemic, we need universal vote-by-mail!

  Dear Friend,   The recent election in Wisconsin was an urgent warning for Minnesota.    Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, poll workers in Wisconsin who feared for their health declined to work, . . . which caused a drastic consolidation of polling places,  . . . which meant unacceptably …
