@GuntherEagleman In Minnesota, one person can "vouch" for up to 8 voters. It was admitted during MN house testimony that once a ballot has been counted, it cannot be revoked if a person is later proven to be ineligible.
@Milajoy The education of our children should be the prime goal. Funding should be given to the states so it can spent according to the local priorities.
@C_3C_3 Once an illegal vote is cast, it will be counted even if it is later determined that the person was not eligible. In 2008, Al Franken won by 312 votes.
@EricLDaugh In 2020, Carver County MN had a 94% turnout rate. In previous elections it was high, but nowhere near this. About 75-80%. It is hard to get 94% of any group to do anything.
@EricLDaugh This is funded with a .88% payroll tax. I would not be surprised if this needs to be increased a year or two from now. There needs to be some major safeguards built into this system.
One person can vouch that up to 8 people are eligible to vote. Since ballots cannot be traced back to an individual, once a ballot has been cast, it more than likely will be counted. When a person gets a license, they are registered to vote unless they state that they are not eligible. Given the fraud recently disclosed in Minnesota, I do not believe that the current administration even looks into voting fraud.
According to Grok, there are no provisional ballots and verification of those vouched for is post election. Challenges must be made before the ballot is submitted. The person who vouches does sign an affirmation that they are valid, but if undetected on election day, they ballot will be counted.
@nicksortor This is funded with a .88% payroll tax. Given Minnesota's history, I'm confident that a year or two from now, this will need to be increased due to overuse of this program.
@kevinnbass Doctors used to be independent whereas now most are employees that receive a salary. When you are running your own business, you tend to be more conservative.
@FOX9 This program is funded by a .88% of wages tax. 1/2 by the employer and 1/2 by the employee. I would be willing to bet in the future, we will find out that this is not enough and this tax will need to be increased.
@cwebbonline The problem with our current ACA system is that the insurance company is the client, not the patient. With these subsidies, the insurance companies simply raise the cost of the insurance up to the limit of the subsidies to maximize their revenue.
