To everyone who is still decompressing from the weeks and months of prep leading up to last Tuesday's pandemic-themed primary election:
You altered ALL your plans.
You stepped up to become a frontline worker.
You counted more paper ballots than ever.
You invested hours of meticulous planning in an abyss of unknowns.
Well. It paid off. Minnesotans felt safe enough to participate, and participate they did! According to the Secretary of State, over 900,000 Minnesotans cast a primary ballot by mail or in person.
You made it work so Minnesotans could vote. Frankly this is all exceptional, and yet exactly what we expect from elections administrators and their teams because it’s what you always do: step up for Minnesota voters.
We know election season is far, far from over, but just wanted to let you know that we see you and appreciate the strong foundation you have made for the weeks and months ahead. THANK YOU!
