Minnesota Election Judge Charged with Felonies for Allowing Unregistered Voters
Timothy Michael Scouton, a 64-year-old Minnesota election judge, faces two felony charges for allegedly allowing 11 unregistered individuals to vote in the Badoura Township precinct. An investigation was launched after missing voter registration forms were discovered, and a fellow election judge reported Scouton instructed them to disregard registration procedures. Scouton, who declined to comment, was arrested and released pending a January 6th hearing. The Secretary of State’s office deemed the allegations extremely serious, emphasizing the violation of the election judge’s oath and betrayal of public trust.
