Minneapolis Man Lied To Federal Grand Jury In Voter Fraud Case: Feds

MINNEAPOLIS – A Minneapolis man was convicted of lying to a federal grand jury during a case involving voter fraud in Minnesota, U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger announced Wednesday.

Muse M. Mohamed, 30, was found guilty on two counts of false declarations before a grand jury. A sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled.

Mohamed was ordered to testify about his use of the agent delivery process during Minnesota’s Aug. 11, 2020, primary election.

Minneapolis city election records showed that Mohamed delivered ballots as an agent for three voters during that election. In October, Mohamed testified in court that he was given the absentee ballots from the voters themselves. That statement was false, according to prosecutors.

The three voters testified that they do not know Mohamed and did not ask him to pick up and deliver absentee ballots for them, according to authorities.

One of the ballots that Mohamed tried to deliver was rejected because that voter had cast their ballot in person, according to authorities.

The two other ballots may have counted, but were not enough to change the outcome of the election.
