I have direct, first-hand knowledge of it. I was an election judge in my precinct. I handed out every ballot cast that day, and was watching for this.

In Minnesota, you can register on election day with nothing more than another registered voter "vouching" for your eligibility. They only have to say that they know you live in the precinct and sign a form.

I overheard a conversation over my shoulder where someone who had just voted (40-50 year old female) was telling a college student that she would vouch for him if he would just give her an address in the precinct. "They never check, and you can help make history." You tell me which party she voted for.

To his credit, the kid backed out, but I had also turned to give them a look. Not sure if they caught it, but they walked away a minute later.

This was in a white-bread and picket fence area just off campus from UM-Duluth. You want me to believe the same scene did not play out to completion many times over in less vigilant precincts all over the state?
