MN Secretary of State Steve Simon on Why Minnesota Was Once Again #1 in Voter Turnout

Minn Post

Steve Simon is MN’s 22nd secretary of state – who just won reelection.  That's not the only thing he can be proud of, once again Minnesota had the highest voter turnout in the nation. 

*In the conversation from last week, we asked about recount that would be happening in MN house District 5A between John Persell and Matt Bliss.  There had been an 8 vote difference, and after this week's recount, 11 votes between the candidates, with DFLer John Persell winning the race.
