Complaint for Violation of Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Act Submitted by Common Cause Minnesota
COMPLAINT FOR VIOLATION OF CAMPAIGN FINANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE ACT SUBMITTED BY COMMON CAUSE MINNESOTA Common Cause Minnesota is filing a complaint against Dan McGrath and Minnesota Majority for violating Minn. Stat. §10A.04, subd. 6 and Minn. Stat. §10A.01, subd. 21. This complaint alleges that Mr. McGrath failed to register as a lobbyist in Minnesota and Minnesota Majority failed to register as a principal lobbying group, thus requiring both to disclose the amount of money they spent in 2010 through 2012 on lobbying efforts to influence legislative action at the Minnesota legislature. Both parties are required to file a report because as an individual and as an organization they engaged in an effort to influence legislative action. Relevant Documents Attached to This Complaint 1. Exhibit 1 – Minnesota Majority IRS 990 form from 2010. 2. Exhibit 2 – Dan McGrath affidavit to Minnesota Supreme Court on voter ID lawsuit. Factual Background 1. The Interested Parties. A. Dan McGrath Dan McGrath is the executive director of Minnesota Majority. According to IRS 990 tax records, Mr. McGrath is not listed as an employee (See exhibit 2). However, the organization does list $48,972 in professional services/consultants on the organization’s 2010 form 990. Mr. McGrath has not been registered as a lobbyist with the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board according to records available on its website. B. Minnesota Majority Minnesota Majority is an Minnesota nonprofit corporation recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as social welfare organization under Code section 501(c)(4).

Anticipating an Evil Which May Never Exist: Minnesota's Anachronistic Identifying Mark Statute Abstract In the aftermath of the 2008 senatorial election race in Minnesota, several election laws were scrutinized by state officials and the public. Specifically, Minnesota statute 204C.22 was attacked; this statute voids ballots containing "identifying" or "distinguishing" marks made in such a way as to make it evident that "the voter intended to identify the ballot". Secretary of State Ritchie proposed narrowing the scope of the identifying mark statutes, and though legislation was introduced in the state legislature, it was not adopted. The existence of these legislative initiatives makes it appropriate to examine the history of statutes prohibiting identifying marks, the policies undergirding them, and how they have been utilized in recent and distant Minnesota history. This article discusses all of these things and concludes by examining whether the Secretary of State’s recommendations are needed, or whether the statutes should simply be repealed. -

The debate typically centers on policies that seek to affect the accessibility of voting. Election Day Registration (EDR) is one voting policy being discussed. Allowing voters to register on Election Day is a policy currently used in eleven states and the District of Columbia, and states with EDR rank highest in the nation’s voter turnout rates. -
