In the wake of last Tuesday’s Crow Wing County Commission meeting, the Brainerd Dispatch has the latest on the story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you recall the video I ran yesterday<\/a>, showing Monty Jensen, Ron Kaus and Al and Jim Stene speaking in front of the Commission, you’ll remember the powerful allegation that the staff at the group home (run by the Clark Lake group of group homes) had fraudulently gotten Jim Stene to vote; Stene himself – who suffered serious brain injuries in a near-drowning incident when he was 12 -alleged that the group home staff had coached his vote.<\/p>\n

County Attorney Ryan was un-thrilled by this:<\/p>\n

At the Tuesday meeting, Ryan took issue with Stene\u2019s statements, saying Stene misrepresented their conversations when speaking to the board.<\/p>\n

Ryan said when he sat down and spoke to James \u201che personally informed me he did want to vote not that someone made him to vote. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which will be an interesting he-said\/he-said to work through.<\/p>\n

But if – as the Minnesota Freedom Council has alleged – Jim Stene has been judged mentally incompetent to vote, and his name is on the absentee voter roll, then there’s a legal issue right there.<\/p>\n

And even County Attorney Ryan agrees there’s some smoke (I’ll add emphasis):<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a bad thing to come in and try to create an issue in an open forum setting and when it will be televised,\u201d Ryan said. \u201cThere currently is an investigation pending into the exploitation of a vulnerable adult<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In December, Ryan reported his office did not find evidence to substantiate a Crow Wing Township resident\u2019s claim of voter fraud. On Nov. 1, Montgomery Jensen of Crow Wing Township filed a complaint with Ryan\u2019s office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m awaiting an update on when Fox will broadcast Eric Shawn’s report on the voter fraud allegations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
