Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon on Ballot Integrity

Join Volunteer Blue as Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon pulls back the curtain on the multi-layered security measures that protect our election systems from fraud.

Simon will discuss how US voting is distributed across more than 10,000 independent election jurisdictions managed separately by state and local governments.

He’ll describe how this dispersed election system offers widespread protection through distinct local rules about voting processes, equipment, paper trails, ballot chain of custody, and post-election audits. This makes it virtually impossible for bad actors to execute an attack that would alter election outcomes on any scale: local, state or national.

In this 30-minute Zoom, you’ll learn about

• election mischief, such as deceptive practices and hidden camera stunts inside polling locations

• potential challenges from federal actions or immigration enforcement at polling sites

• proposed federal legislation, such as the Minnesota Voter Integrity Act, that could harm local election infrastructure funding

• ways to address voter fears, acknowledging concerns and reassuring voters

Since 2015, Simon has been Secretary of State in Minnesota, where his office oversees statewide elections and operates the state’s voter registration system. From 2005 to 2015, he served in the Minnesota House of Representatives, and before that, worked as an assistant attorney general in Minnesota.
