Reforms to Minnesota's ballot rules pushed back to next year
June 01, 2009
...Here's how Ritchie described the situation: "The
procedure for sending out 300,000 absentee ballots to 4,000 polling
places to be processed by 30,000 mostly volunteer election officials at
the end of the day after 3 million voters walked through the door —
when you say it out loud, that's crazy."
After the election, Ritchie solicited suggestions for repairs
from city, county and township election officials. Their ideas were
incorporated in the Legislature's major election reform bill of the
session.
