Minn. Prosecutor Finds No Evidence Of Voter Fraud
BRAINERD, Minn. (AP) -- A prosecutor in north-central Minnesota says he won't file charges in a complaint that two disabled voters had their ballots filled out by a group home worker.
Crow Wing County Attorney Don Ryan says there's no evidence the worker influenced the clients' votes.
Ryan says the voters filled out their absentee ballots, and the worker merely darkened the ovals so scanning machines would read them.
A Brainerd man, Monty Jensen, filed the complaint over what he saw at the courthouse on Oct. 30.
Jensen earlier told the Brainerd Dispatch he believes what he saw crossed the line from proper assistance to manipulation of vulnerable adults. The ballots were cast for DFL candidates.
Jensen said Friday he wants to talk to the county attorney and review the investigative report before commenting.
