    I haven’t read anything that says they actually got to the point where they cast any fraudulent votes (or even obtained any ballots). But it turns out the law is quite clear that you can’t impersonate anyone as part of the voting process, even if you don’t actually cast a ballot. He’s cooked.

      Oh yeah my bad, they applied for ballots. That being said “Minnesota law clearly states that no individual shall intentionally misrepresent the individual’s identity in applying for a ballot” so yeah.

        It happens, especially when rushed, distracted, failing eyesight, interruptions, etc. No worries!
