In a recent government meeting, concerns over information crimes and election integrity took center stage. A speaker highlighted ongoing issues related to a significant information crime, claiming that the state of Minnesota has not conducted a formal legal proceeding on this matter since 2008. The speaker presented a CD as the only existing evidence of past state actions, alleging that the state has buried relevant information and is obstructing federal cooperation in addressing the crime.

The discussion shifted to election integrity, with Derek Lind from the ACEC group providing an update on their efforts across 21 cities. Lind reported that seven cities have passed resolutions to extend post-election reviews, which will involve judges verifying votes ten days after elections. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and ensure the accuracy of election results, with varying levels of scrutiny across different precincts.

Additionally, Lind noted that the city of Oak Grove has decided to eliminate electronic poll pads in favor of paper ballots, citing concerns over data security and voter privacy. He emphasized that these measures reflect a commitment to secure elections and restore public confidence in the electoral process.

Lind expressed a desire to return for a full presentation on their findings and initiatives, underscoring the importance of community engagement in the ongoing dialogue about election security. The meeting concluded with a call for further discussions on these critical issues.
