While our office doesn’t handle political party security, I was able to refer @MNGOP & @jkcarnah to our contacts at the Department of Homeland Security & the FBI for possible investigation. Regardless of political party, we should all agree that election security is critical. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing! People in Minnesota are ready to vote by mail! 👇👇👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Yes! People are getting the message. Vote from home this year! Order your ballot at https://t.co/8on0iCX5vi. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing to see my late father smiling at the world from the front page of today’s @startribune sports section with @hrbie14 circa 1985. My dad loved his job (and Kent). https://t.co/8UIhNAp9qp — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Mothers Day to all, but especially to the two best moms I’ve ever known. ❤️ https://t.co/SC7iktdwep — PolitiTweet.org

Seventy-five years ago today, after 40 million deaths, the world was rescued from brutality and darkness when Nazi Germany surrendered. Bless the liberators. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Exactly right. 130,000 Minnesotans (in 78 of 87 counties) already live in places where all registered voters get their ballots in the mail for every election. It has worked beautifully for over thirty years. — PolitiTweet.org

To ease our daughter’s disappointment about not being able to use the playground equipment in the park, we let her take along her dolls to our picnic. https://t.co/OPFM2S9G4K — PolitiTweet.org

On a call today with a doctor from the CDC to discuss election administration during a pandemic, and here was her very first recommendation: “Encourage mail-in methods.” — PolitiTweet.org

If there was ever a year to honor workers on #MayDay, this is it! Thanks to workers everywhere who put themselves at risk to do their jobs. Let’s stand by them - during and after this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a huge loss for the legislature. @LaurieHalverson is a respected & effective problem-solver. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

I appreciated the chance to talk to @webertom1 about voting by mail as a way to conduct elections during a pandemic. I got to address some of the questions that need to be answered now - to make sure we can have a safe & secure election year. https://t.co/BobFeiHjUA — PolitiTweet.org

To our Muslim friends and neighbors, Ramadan Mubarak! May this year’s observance be especially meaningful during this challenging time. — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic news! Widespread testing is the way to get us back to “normal” more quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the many millions who were killed, but we also try when we can to remember them as individuals; each one a unique and tragic reminder about the price of hatred. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @CwodMN: 761 days! That is how long Anne Frank and 7 others spent hiding in the secret annex. Never able to leave. A little perspect… — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

The November general election is 200 days away. Minnesota has been #1 in voter participation for the last two elections. But we need temporary changes in law right now to make sure voting this year is safe and secure. No pressure. #mnleg https://t.co/msgjdiRW1L — PolitiTweet.org

A terrible loss for @keithellison and his family. May they find comfort and peace. Let’s all keep doing our part during this pandemic to save more families from this kind of grief. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

I can’t help but notice . . . The MN Legislature was in session today, & very sensibly gave all members the option of voting from home - without the need to apply for the privilege. Shouldn’t their constituents enjoy the same privilege in an election during a pandemic? — PolitiTweet.org

Pray for Grand Marais, Minnesota; a truly beautiful community that will need a lot of help to recover. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

On the same day the President said his power is “total,” @GovTimWalz showed executive restraint by seeking a vote of the Executive Council to extend the MN peacetime emergency declaration - even though the law arguably allowed him to extend the emergency on his own. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

FACT: 130,000 Minnesotans (in 78 of 87 counties) already live in communities with no polling place; they get ballots by mail every election without having to request or apply. We should scale up that system temporarily to put public health first during a pandemic election. — PolitiTweet.org

A new item this year for Seder plates everywhere. 😊 Happy Passover! We are all more grateful than ever for our freedom. https://t.co/soUs2cLYJf — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

A pandemic election means putting public health first: Minimizing polling place activity & maximizing voting by mail. We can’t get to the safest place by relying on current rules. We need temporary changes to law. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

What’s happening today in Wisconsin’s election is a tragedy. If we want a better outcome in Minnesota, we’ll need changes to our laws - which means legislative cooperation. This is a time for action, not political games. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Our office is actively planning for a pandemic election right now so that Minnesota doesn’t have to confront what Wisconsin is facing in its election tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

I so appreciated Governor Walz’s message of inspiration tonight to the millions of Minnesotans who are staying at home: “What you are doing is not paralysis. It’s action.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dinner tonight was takeout from @PUB819 in Hopkins. Excellent, as always. We can all do our part to keep our favorite local restaurants going. A win-win. — PolitiTweet.org
