Fellow Minnesotans,
As your candidate for Governor in 2026, I am calling on every one of you—regardless of political affiliation—to unite behind the critical efforts of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, under Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon, to enforce federal laws like the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). These actions, which include sending compliance letters to states to clean up sloppy voter rolls and verify citizenship, are essential to restoring confidence in our elections before the 2026 cycle. Minnesota’s inflated rolls, lax maintenance, and history of fraud scandals have eroded trust in a state where outcomes often hinge on narrow margins. We cannot afford another election marred by doubts about ineligible voters, duplicates, or unverified registrations. By getting behind this federal push, we ensure that every legitimate Minnesotan’s voice is heard and protected, safeguarding the integrity of our Constitutional Republic for generations to come.
My commitment to this cause is not new—it’s been a consistent thread in my advocacy, rooted in my 21 years as a U.S. Navy Intelligence officer exposing systemic fraud. Let’s walk through the chronology of my efforts to highlight and combat these vulnerabilities:
It began in earnest as I launched my gubernatorial campaign, drawing parallels between election weaknesses and the frauds I’ve uncovered, like the $250 million daycare scam and Feeding Our Future COVID fraud. On January 15, 2025, I publicly exposed the Minnesota DFL’s cheating in the District 40B House race, where ineligible candidate Curtis Johnson was disqualified, leaving Republicans with a rightful 67-66 majority— a clear case of electoral manipulation that the media twisted to confuse the public. By February 28, 2025, I released a video calling out bureaucratic exploitation in programs like the Affordable Care Act, emphasizing how similar lax oversight enables voter system abuses. On March 1, 2025, I challenged Governor Tim Walz’s defense of false narratives tied to foreign influence, tying it to domestic election risks. March 8, 2025, saw me reveal the DFL’s reliance on ActBlue for money laundering in election funding, a scheme that distorts voter representation.
The turning point came on March 16, 2025, when I issued a detailed memorandum to President Donald J. Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel, outlining Minnesota’s voter roll inflation with data showing 3.6 million registered voters against a 4.2 million voting-age population, unremoved deceased or duplicate entries, and parallels to past frauds—urging federal intervention under NVRA for real-time validation and stricter enforcement. Just days later, on March 29, 2025, I released a video exposing Walz’s “shadow network” of bureaucrats and operatives using mass immigration to artificially boost voter rolls, with Minnesota’s foreign-born population surging over 20% in a decade. In April 2025, I blasted U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly and media outlets like KSTP for undermining election integrity by opposing Trump’s Executive Order 14,248 on citizenship proof, pledging state-level voter verification, real-time audits, and transparency as Governor. On April 29, 2025, I accused Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison of unconstitutional speech suppression tied to election critiques, calling for DOJ investigations. By May 2, 2025, I critiqued Senator Amy Klobuchar’s voting rights speech for ignoring citizenship verification needs, supported by 83% of Americans per Gallup. On May 12, 2025, I hailed Trump’s March 25, 2025, executive order on election security as a direct response to my warnings, committing to implement it in Minnesota to address roll inflation and fraud.
Continuing the fight, in June 2025, I demanded answers from Secretary of State Steve Simon and Walz on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence in our elections, citing vulnerabilities like Konnech software storing data on Chinese servers and fraud cases involving Ronnie Williams and Lorraine Lee Combs, calling for audits and disclosures to neutralize foreign interference. On June 13, 2025, I exposed how Minnesota’s political elite manipulates votes through bureaucratic inertia and unverified registrations. In July 2025, I unveiled a plan for judicial accountability, including removing the “incumbent” ballot label to ensure fair judicial elections and aligning retirements with cycles to empower voters—key to preventing court-enabled election fraud. On July 26, 2025, I blasted Walz, Ellison, and Simon for resisting DOJ voter roll probes, accusing them of hiding fraud in plain sight. Most recently, on August 8, 2025, I highlighted a suspicious timeline in ongoing voter roll disputes, warning of potential cover-ups via alleged cyber attacks that obscure registration discrepancies.
I am not alone in this battle. Grassroots patriots like @LibertyMarieEP have been tireless in sounding the alarm, often at great personal cost. Her efforts date back to at least November 8, 2024, when she exposed post-election additions of over 1,130 voters to Minnesota’s rolls, questioning if it padded margins in tight races. On November 21, 2024, she revealed that our state does not automatically update rolls, with no proof the Secretary of State’s office acts on removal reports. By April 4, 2025, she documented a drop of over 275,000 registrations since Election Day 2024, implying impossible 100.88% turnout based on reported votes—clear evidence of inflation. In May 2025, she provided a comprehensive history of Minnesota’s voting changes since the 1950s, including same-day registration (1973), no-excuse absentee (1987), electronic poll books (2000s-2010s), and machines like ES&S DS200, arguing these enabled fraud through sloppy verification and opaque processes. Activists like her, armed with data and determination, have repeatedly demanded audits, transparency, and accountability, amplifying the call for reforms that the DOJ is now pursuing.
These combined efforts underscore how vital this issue is for Minnesotans: Unresolved roll issues disenfranchise legal voters, invite foreign meddling, inflate costs through disputes, and fuel distrust in a state scarred by fraud. Without action, we risk repeating 2020’s controversies or worse in 2026.
That’s why I urge you: Contact your local representatives, county officials, and state legislators today. Demand full compliance with DOJ directives, accountability for compromised rolls, and the immediate implementation of voter identification, citizenship verification, real-time audits, and other integrity measures like those in the SAVE Act. Flood their offices with calls, emails, and letters—let them know Minnesotans will not tolerate inaction. Together, we can force the change our state desperately needs.
For a secure, transparent Minnesota,
Phillip C. Parrish
Candidate for Governor of Minnesota, 2026
LCDR, USN (Ret.)
