  • Wide Awake Minnesota: Sherburne County's Election Lesson: Errors, Accountability, and the Path Forward
    Dec 11 2024

    In this episode, Chairman David Hann and Executive Director Anna Mathews are joined by Sherburne County Commissioner Andrew Hulse to discuss the election night issues in Sherburne County.

    The conversation centers on a data upload error involving mail-in ballots. Due to a partially seated memory card, the Minnesota Secretary of State's website displayed only partial election results. Commissioner Hulse explains the complex tabulation and reporting process, the safeguards in place, and the human error that caused the discrepancy.

    Commissioner Hulse emphasizes that no ballots were "found" but that the data was incorrectly transmitted. The issue led to a recount, which confirmed the accuracy of the results. The discussion highlights broader concerns about election security, human error, and the impact of public mistrust on voter turnout.

    Hann and Mathews call for greater citizen involvement in the electoral process through public test attendance, engagement with county commissioners, and serving as election judges.

    In this episode, Republican Party of Minnesota Executive Director Anna Mathews engages with guests Dahlia al-Aqidi and Tad Jude, Republican congressional candidates in Minnesota.

    Dahlia, who is challenging Ilhan Omar in the 5th District, discusses her vision for inclusivity and public safety and her opposition to Omar's policies, which she argues have damaged the community, especially in areas like crime and police funding.

    Tad Jude, competing for the seat vacated by Dean Phillips in the 3rd District, emphasizes his plan to make Minnesota more affordable by cutting taxes and reducing government spending.

    Both candidates criticize their opponents for aligning too closely with Democrats' progressive agendas. They highlight key issues like education, cost of living, and public safety as central to their platforms. The episode ends with a call for financial support and voter participation in the upcoming elections.
