"Nearly 19,000 people used ‘vouching’ to register to vote in Minnesota on Election Day 2024
Data obtained by America First Legal also shows how many people used "vouching" to register to vote in 2022 and 2020.
Data from the Minnesota secretary of state shows that 18,898 people used “vouching” to either update their voter registration, or become registered to vote, in Minnesota in 2024. That information was obtained by America First Legal in a data request.
Under Minnesota state law, an individual seeking to become registered to vote on Election Day can confirm their residency simply by having a registered voter “vouch” for them. In short, the registered voter signs an oath confirming the unregistered person’s address.
State law allows a registered voter to “vouch” for up to eight people. However, staff at residential facilities are not bound by the eight-person vouching limit. The state’s voter vouching system was recently criticized by congressional Republicans.
Now, America First Legal, a nonprofit law firm based in Washington, D.C., has obtained data from the Minnesota secretary of state which shows how many people have used the vouching system in recent elections.
According to data from the Minnesota secretary of state, 18,898 people used vouching on Election Day in 2024. Of those individuals, 13,441 updated their voter registration records while 5,457 were newly registered to vote."

Vouch? Seriously, this is supposed to be how to run a secure election? Who checks the "vouching" afterwards? The Bureau of Vouching Confirmation BVC?
