Fellow Minnesotans, and especially the county auditors, election judges, and mid-level administrators who still believe you are simply “running the system”:
You have been lied to.
You have been used.
The dirty voter rolls, the automatic registration pipelines, the vouching loopholes, the delayed purges, and the stonewalling of federal data requests are not random bureaucratic failures. They are the operating system of a criminal industry that has been bleeding Minnesota dry for years — the same networks that looted hundreds of millions through daycare fraud and Feeding Our Future, the same political machine that treats working families, farmers, veterans, and small businesses as a revenue stream.
Newly declassified material from the White House confirms the national scale. China illicitly acquired 220 million U.S. voter files — names, addresses, phone numbers, political preferences — the largest known compromise of American election data in history. They stood up a dedicated exploitation unit. U.S. intelligence agencies knew by 2020 that tens of millions of records across at least 18 states had been bought, stolen, or hacked. The prior Deep State suppressed the scale from the President and the public. A DHS review of the limited data cooperating states would share still found approximately 278,000 non-citizens registered to vote; Democrat-run states that refused full files made the true number higher. Centralized voter registration databases are explicitly identified as the softest targets for adversaries.
Minnesota is one of those non-cooperating states.
The Timeline You Were Never Supposed to Connect
On March 25, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order directing the Department of Justice to investigate voter rolls for non-citizen voting and irregularities.
On June 25, 2025, the DOJ under Attorney General Pam Bondi formally requested Minnesota’s full voter registration lists.
On July 24, 2025, a targeted cyberattack — a “digital security incident” — hit St. Paul, home of the Secretary of State’s office. Governor Walz activated the National Guard cyber team. Details remained opaque.
On July 25, 2025 — one day later — Secretary of State Steve Simon formally denied the DOJ request, citing privacy concerns.
I documented this exact sequence on August 8, 2025, and warned that the cyber event provided the perfect pretext to claim data was “lost” or “compromised” so the real condition of the rolls could stay buried. Read the full article here: Phillip C. Parrish, August 8, 2025 — Suspicious Timeline in Voter Roll Dispute and Potential Cover-Up via Alleged Cyber Attack.
The timing has never been explained. It still has not been investigated with the seriousness it deserves.
My March 16, 2025 memorandum to President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel first laid out the inflation: roughly 3.6 million registered voters against a citizen voting-age population of about 4.2 million, with thousands of unremoved deceased, duplicates, relocated voters, and the systemic openings created by automatic registration without real-time citizenship verification. Read it here: Phillip C. Parrish Memorandum to President Trump on Minnesota Voter Roll Inflation.
The same patterns of lax oversight and delayed accountability that enabled the daycare and Feeding Our Future grifts.
The September 17, 2025 article on the HD 34B special election further connected these issues to suspicious turnout discrepancies and the ongoing cyber timeline. Read it here: HD 34B Special Election Integrity Alarms — Voter Rolls and Cyberattack Concerns.
The July 2026 Office of the Legislative Auditor report confirmed the maintenance failures at the county level: more than one-third of manual residency cases either assigned the wrong status or lacked documentation; counties failed to update records for newly incarcerated individuals in 27 percent of one sampled set; required notices went out on time only 84 percent of the time. The Secretary of State’s office admitted it has no enforcement power over the counties. That is not a flaw. That is the design.
Hennepin County data obtained by a state representative showed nearly 3,000 records missing critical information, hundreds listed as age 100 or older, and thousands of challenged voters — including one Minneapolis precinct at over 21 percent challenged. The fuller release was later called an “error.” The pattern is consistent: limit the data, control the narrative, protect the system.
Mid-Level Officials: You Are Not the Problem — You Are Being Used
To the county election staff and local administrators reading this: many of you are honest people trying to do a hard job under impossible rules. You were told the system is secure, that federal requests are partisan attacks, that questioning the rolls is dangerous. That was a lie told to keep you as the human shield for a higher-level criminal industry.
The same political and nonprofit networks that have extracted hundreds of millions from Minnesota taxpayers through fraud schemes benefit from rolls that are hard to audit, easy to inflate, and resistant to cleanup. Loose registration rules and delayed maintenance are not “access.” They are the infrastructure of a parasite economy that treats citizens as a resource to be drained. When you are ordered to resist federal data requests or told that transparency is the real threat, you are being used to protect that industry.
You have a choice. You can continue providing cover, or you can start demanding the tools, the data matches, and the legal authority to clean the lists for real. The White House material and the accumulating local evidence show the system was compromised from the outside and protected from the inside. You do not have to be the ones left holding the bag when the full accounting finally comes.
Why the August 11 Primary Matters
The August 11 primary is not just another election. It is the first real opportunity Minnesotans have to begin dismantling the machine that has protected these failures. Every vote cast in that primary for candidates who will demand clean rolls, proof of citizenship, real-time verification, independent audits, and full cooperation with federal list-maintenance requirements is a vote against the grift.
The DFL syndicate and its enablers will tell you that questioning the rolls is an attack on “democracy.” Ignore them. We live in a constitutional republic. In a republic, only eligible citizens vote, the lists are accurate, and the people who maintain the system answer to the public — not the other way around.
Working families, farmers, veterans, parents, and small-business owners are the ones paying the price while the networks that benefit from chaos continue to extract. Clean elections are not a luxury. They are the minimum requirement for reclaiming our state from the criminal industry that has been looting it.
I will continue documenting the evidence, pressing for the full investigation of the July 2025 St. Paul cyber timing, and demanding the federal tools and enforcement that Minnesota’s current leadership has refused. As Lieutenant Governor on the Lindell-Parrish ticket, I will treat election integrity the same way I treated the daycare fraud as a whistleblower and the church finances as an administrator: follow the money, expose the networks, and remove the incentives for fraud.
Minnesotans deserve elections they can trust. Mid-level officials deserve to stop being used as cover. The August 11 primary is where that fight begins in earnest.
Christ is King.
The republic is worth defending.
