3. I read the article - it's consistent with everything I've read so far, so I think its accurate

though I'm not an elections expert.

On the witness signature thing, from the Star Tribune article:

I received my ballot in the mail. Now what?

You can vote now, but there are a few extra steps when voting by mail. You'll need a registered Minnesota voter or a notary to act as a witness as you complete your ballot. That person must then sign a signature envelope included with your absentee ballot and list the witness' address. Notaries need to write down their name and title and sign the signature envelope.


Just pointing that out because that witness signature crap was not required in 2020 -- they temporarily waived it because of Covid. But its b a a a c k.

On *not* needing those signatures when early voting in person -- the Star Tribune article doesn't clearly say that, but I did find explicit statements to that effect when I was getting ready to vote in the August primary.

Thanks much for posting the article

Oh, I just noticed, that Star Tribune article is not paywalled. "This article has Unlimited Access."
