On Super Tuesday, multiple Minnesota residents and members of the media reported that the official Minnesota Secretary of State’s office website was redirecting voters looking for their polling place to BoldProgressives.org. The site belongs to a progressive PAC that solicits donations, collects voter information, and has endorsed Sen. Warren for president, as well as reelection endorsements for other candidates such as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Voters who were directed to the partisan website before going to cast their votes were greeted with a banner that read: “Vote for bold progressive candidates on election day” and asked to give their info to find their polling location.

“The Secretary of State is responsible for his office and protecting the integrity of Minnesota’s elections to ensure that process is conducted fairly in a nonpartisan manner,” said Senator Bill Ingebrigtsen (R-Alexandria). “To see Secretary Simon and his office fail in this duty and deliberately direct Minnesotans to a website promoting a partisan agenda is deeply disturbing. While the Secretary has since downplayed the cause of this catastrophic failure, Minnesotans deserve to know how he allowed this to happen and what steps will be taken to ensure that this does not happen ever again.”
