Trump DOJ demands Minnesota voting records over same-day registration 'vouching' concerns

The policy allows a registered voter to "vouch" for up to eight people seeking same-day registration, and it has come under fresh scrutiny amid broader concerns about election integrity in the wake of Minnesota's massive welfare fraud scandal.

Dhillon called on the state to hand over digital records related to same-day registrations, votes cast by same-day registrants and audit and compliance records under the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).

"The Department of Justice is particularly concerned with votes and registrations accepted on the basis of 'vouching' from other registered voters or residential facility employees, as well as other same-day registration procedures."

Minnesota law separately allows same-day voter registration through a process known as "vouching," under which a registered voter can attest to the residency of up to eight other voters who want to register on Election Day and do not present qualifying identification.

According to an official fact sheet from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office, the registered voter must accompany the person or people to the polling place and sign an oath verifying a home address.

Residents who are not vouched for and who want to vote on the same day must provide at least one form of identity verification, including a valid Minnesota driver's license or learner's permit, a receipt for either or a tribal identification card that includes a photo and signature.

So long as the prospective voter can prove residency, the proof of ID can include a driver's license or learner's permit from any state, a passport, an expired ID, a military ID or a Minnesota college or high school identification card.

If a person is registered to vote in a precinct but changed his name or moved within the precinct, the voter may still vote after informing the precinct election judge of a previous name or address.

Simon's office did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

"WOW! This is huge. Thank you so, so much," Presler wrote in response to Dhillon's X post sharing her letter.
