Minnesota Election Judge Charged Over Unregistered Votes
18th November 2024
A head election judge serving in a Minnesota township has been charged with two felony counts for allegedly letting 11 people vote without being registered.
Timothy Michael Scouton, 64, faces with one count of neglect of duty by an election official and one count of accepting the vote of an unregistered voter, KSTP reported.
According to a criminal complaint filed Friday, officials started to investigate after Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave wasn’t able to find any completed voter registration forms among the ballots and other materials that were returned by Scouton, who had acted as head election judge in the Badoura Township precinct on election night.
