Today, Representatives Jeremy Munson and Steve Drazkowski held a press conference to discuss free and fair elections. At the press conference, the representatives discussed repeated, unconstitutional changes to election law that occurred in Minnesota. 

It is clear that the 2020 election in many states, including Minnesota, wasn’t carried out according to the law. Secretary of State Steve Simon, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and liberal activist group Democracy Docket worked to change the rules of our election, completely contrary to the laws we have in our state, in order to conduct an illegal election.

Rep. Steve Drazkowski spoke at a rally regarding election fraud.

On Friday, December 4, the Minnesota Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit that Republican activists served to Steve Simon and the state Canvassing board.  Simon claimed he had not been served but even as the court agreed he had been, they dismissed the lawsuit because it hadn't been served to county election officials as well and because the suit was not brought forward back when the consent orders had come about, prior to the election but only in the window between the election and the certification.

The November 3^rd election left many Minnesota conservative Republican activists dazed and confused. Part of that feeling was the disappointment they felt in the many losses suffered on that day. There were unexpected losses from the top of the ticket to the bottom, in state house and senate seats that seemed like they were on a glide path to victory.  Unpleasant surprises are nothing new in politics, and seasoned activists recognize that feeling. But what was confusing were the abrupt changes in Minnesota's already extremely permissive election laws and rules, months before the November election. 

Representatives Steve Drazkowski, Tim Miller, and Jeremy Munson made the following statement: 

“Today, we are joining elected legislators and candidates in filing a lawsuit against Secretary of State Steve Simon. Throughout 2020, Secretary Simon illegally altered Minnesota’s election laws. His office issued unlawful consent decrees that greatly affected the rules that govern absentee ballots and who can assist people at the polls. To circumvent the Minnesota Legislature and unilaterally change election law is entirely unconstitutional. This abuse of power must be addressed.  

Today, Rep. Steve Drazkowski introduced two bills to protect Minnesota elections. The first bill would require voters to provide photo identification when they vote. The second bill would establish provisional balloting. 

“In recent months, we have seen the need for reforms to our voting process,” said Rep. Drazkowski. “Investigative journalists have uncovered different ways our elections are being exploited, and it is time that we take action. The safety and security of our elections should be a top priority for ever legislator. Only through fair elections will the voice of the people be truly represented."

Representative Drazkowski supports legal voting and reminds Minnesotans that ballot harvesting and selling their votes is against the law.
