Minnesota elections office subpoenaed in probe over state voter rolls, sources say

12h


The Minnesota Secretary of State's Office has received a grand jury subpoena ordering it to turn over certain individual voter records, as part of a federal investigation into whether non-citizens are registered or have unlawfully cast ballots, sources with direct knowledge told CBS News.

The investigation, which is being run by the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security, appears to represent an escalation in an ongoing dispute between states and the federal government over efforts to review states' voter rolls.

Federal prosecutors and investigators are seeking records pertaining to more than 125 individuals, one of the sources said. The records the department is seeking do not include the ballots themselves. To date, no one has been criminally charged.

The criminal investigation is separate from civil litigation that is currently pending against Minnesota by the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, which is trying to convince a federal judge to force the state to hand over a complete unredacted voter registration list. The DOJ is suing dozens of other states and the District of Columbia over the same issue.

The Federal government should have no reason to touch any of it.
