Minneapolis, MN — Dalia Al-Aqidi, candidate for Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District, today sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi expressing serious concern about voter roll irregularities in Hennepin County and thanking the Department of Justice for its efforts to review Minnesota’s voter registration rolls for federal compliance.
The letter follows revelations this week by Rep. Pam Altendorf, Vice Chair of the MN House Elections Committee, that a review of Hennepin County’s voter file identified approximately 3,000 records with missing information, potential duplicate entries, and a precinct in which roughly 21 percent of ballots were challenged.
“These findings raise serious questions about how our elections are being administered and whether voter rolls are being properly maintained,” Al-Aqidi wrote. “When thousands of records are incomplete or questionable, the system that maintains them must be thoroughly reviewed to restore trust in the voting process.”
