"Democrats' 2024 Election Law Shenanigans Unveiled"

Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives have introduced a bill, HF 3447, to expand absentee ballot laws by requiring temporary voting locations on college and university campuses, arguing that it would remove barriers to participation for young adults. Republicans push back, stating that current laws already allow equal opportunity for college students to vote and that the bill would be an unfunded mandate for counties. Critics also argue that the bill is biased against Republican voters and could increase costs for counties. The House Elections Committee voted to put HF 3447 to a floor vote on a Democrat party-line voice vote.
