This sounds like an outstanding model. Other states have complained that such process would be too expensive. How has Minnesota resisted being "too cheap" on election?
And in general I'm impressed by Minnesota's governance. Maybe the answer is a deeper look at Minnesota's government structure.
- beat 8y agoIt's not any more expensive than any other state. Minnesota doesn't use an unusually high number of election judges - the usual collection of old ladies who do election judge work can handle this. States that let individuals handle ballots and stuff are either incompetent or malicious. There's no excuse for not solving easily solved problems with simple, proven solutions, when our democracy is at stake.
