Trust in the election process took a serious hit after a disturbing photo surfaced on social media showing a vehicle, packed with absentee ballots, left wide open and unattended in a public parking lot outside Edina City Hall.
The official X account of Senate District 50 Republicans in Minnesota, representing citizens of Edina and Bloomington, shared the alarming image, sparking outrage among local residents and election watchdogs.
The incriminating photo shows boxes of ballots tied with blue and red straps sitting inside an unlocked vehicle with its hatchback fully open.
SD50MNGOP called out the incident, posting, “Do these ballots look secure to you? Photo outside Edina City Hall.”
“Witness watched as the driver left the vehicle to go inside to get more boxes, leaving the vehicle open and unattended,” SD50MNGOP added.
