Press Release: Candidate Sues Ramsey County for Unlawful Handling of Absentee Ballots

Dan McGrath is no Stranger to Election Integrity Battles

[Updated 7/27/2020: Hearing Date Set, Ramsey County Ordered to Show Cause]

Minneapolis – Dan McGrath is a candidate for county commissioner in Ramsey County’s 2nd Commissioner District. He’s also a member of the Minnesota Voters Alliance and has a long history of working for integrity in Minnesota’s elections. On Thursday, he announced that he has joined a lawsuit with the MVA aimed at compelling errant elections officials in Ramsey County to follow the law as written when handling absentee ballots. So-called ballot boards are supposed to be comprised of citizen election judges of different political parties to help ensure fairness, but the lawsuit says Ramsey County isn’t doing that.

“I don’t know what makes some bureaucrats think they can ignore the statutes and make up their own rules,” McGrath said. “A clean election process that follows the law with citizen oversight and transparency is crucial for voter confidence in the outcomes.”
