MN Election Facts Page Aims To Separate 'Fact And Fiction'

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon has launched a new webpage dedicated to separating "fact and fiction" when it comes to the state's elections process.

The Minnesota Election Facts page includes details that counteract common rumors and misinformation about voting and elections, according to Simon's office.

The website went live ahead of the 2022 statewide primary election's early voting period, which begins Friday.

"For generations, Minnesotans have placed their trust in elections because they know they are free, fair, accurate, and secure," Simon said in a statement. "The new Minnesota Election Facts webpage explains the layers of safeguards in place for our elections and refutes some of the corrosive lies that have spread, threatening our democracy."

Simon added that readers will walk away with a better understanding of the robust laws, rules, policies, and procedures for Minnesota's elections.
