‘Every MN Voter Should Feel Confident’: Sec. Of State Responds To Report Ex-Special Forces Being Recruited To Guard Polling Places, WCCO, 10/9/20
... Simon responded Friday saying the following:
“Private security or other related individuals or groups are not are not allowed inside polling places, only one “challenger” per major political party is allowed in each polling place, and no one else other than a voter or an administrator is allowed within one hundred feet of the entrance of a polling place.”
Simon said that his office is working with state and federal law enforcement to ensure existing laws are enforced.
“In addition, our 30,000 election judges at nearly 3,000 polling places are well-trained on those laws. Any outside effort to supplement election judges or local law enforcement is counterproductive, unwelcome, and possibly unlawful,” Simon said.
The Secretary of State’s office added that voters are allowed to carry firearms if they’re in lawful possession of them if the polling place itself doesn’t ban firearms.
