Mark Ritchie, the MN Secretary of State, is a Democrat and a strong advocate for voting rights. MN has the highest turnout rates in the nation, and one of the lowest incidences of irregularities. We have same-day registration, no voter caging/purging, and we use fill-in-the-bubble paper ballots with optical scan machines. If you're interested in discussing what went wrong in those races, I'd be happy to offer my opinion, but barring major revelations it looks fair.
I absolutely agree that AK needs investigating, though. *Lowered* turnout during a close Senate race, and Presidential race with the popular hometown governor and the most energizing Democrat in decades? Yeah, sure.
