“These allegations are extremely serious and must be fully and thoroughly investigated,” the secretary of state’s office said in a statement to Fox 9. “Election judges take an oath to administer elections in accordance with the law, a deliberate failure to do this is illegal and a betrayal of the public trust Minnesota relies on the dedication and public service of 30,000 people and is required to do their job fairly, impartially and according to law. The Hubbard County Auditor took prompt and fair action in notifying local authorities of the discrepancies discovered so they could investigate.”
