"GOP leader wants a probe into possible voter fraud" July 18, 2010 WCCO News
Mary Kiffmeyer, former Secretary of State and executive director of Minnesota Majority, said in 2009 that it would be too expensive to ask the Department of Corrections to produce electronic data on convicted felons to the Secretary of State. In 2010, Minnesota Majority accused the Secretary of State of allowing felons to vote illegally.

This Fox 9 News investigative report that aired BEFORE the 2008 election should have been a warning signal to Secretary of State Mark Ritchie to conduct his OWN investigation into potential felons on Minnesota voter rolls. But nearly 2 years later, Secretary Ritchie has failed to acknowledge that felons voted in the 2008 election. Instead, his response has been that its not his job, referring all complaints to county attorneys. But according to Minnesota's election laws, the Secretary of State is the state's chief election officer, responsible for the integrity of the voter registration system and our elections.
Most of us know July 4th is the day the United States issued the Declaration of Independence. But have you ever read it? Here is a video of notable Minnesotans reading the declaration. Listen to the power this diverse group of people gives to these centuries old words. As you listen to the list of grievances against the King of England, consider them in the light of today's political turmoil. Has much really changed? Consider this line: "He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands." Even though the issue of open immigration was central to the founding of our country 234 years ago, it continues to be a political hot potato today. Readers include Former First Lady of Minnesota Jane Freeman, Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, Minnesota State Senator Satveer Chaudhary, St. Paul Police Chief John Harrington, Minnesota Public Radio Host Gary Eichten, Minnesota Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher and many others. Full text of the Declaration of Independence can be found at: www.earlyamer ica.com /freedom/doi/text.ht ml

In the shadow of mourning at the Cathedral of St. Paul today, about 100 people were in a more celebratory mood. The Minnesota version of a National Day of Prayer was held on the grounds of the Minnesota Capitol. Minnesota politicians were not at all shy about participating, despite the ongoing controversy about linking government with religion. Last month a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled that a federal government declaration of a National Day of Prayer violated the US Constitution. Included in the video is the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, associated justice of the state Supreme Court, and leaders of the Minnesota Legislature.
