If you have spent years documenting fraud, watching hearings, sharing videos, and waiting for someone with a title to finish the job, hear this clearly:

No candidate is going to save you.

No official is going to volunteer the envelopes.

No dashboard is going to confess.

Minnesota law already gave the people the tool. Most of you have never been told it exists. Some of you have been told to wait for a recount. A recount is not this.

You must stand up and act now.

The lie that keeps you seated

They showed you percentages that barely moved. They called the race. They told you it was over. Then the totals went backwards. Files were replaced. Todd County admitted the state website published the wrong picture until paper caught it.

That feed was designed to make you quit.

The evidence is not on the Secretary of State’s graph. The evidence is in the accepted envelopes, the rejected pile, the vouching lists, and the results-file logs. Rejected envelopes cannot even be opened unless someone files an election contest under Minnesota Statutes chapter 209. Officials cannot destroy those envelopes until 48 hours after the contest deadline — and they cannot destroy them at all if a contest is pending.

If nobody files, the shredder gets a date.

You already have standing

You do not have to be Mike Lindell.

You do not have to be me.

Minnesota Statutes § 209.02, subdivision 1, says any eligible voter, including a candidate, may contest the nomination of a person for whom that voter had the right to vote.

If you are an eligible Minnesota voter who had the right to vote in the August 11 Republican primary for governor, you can file. That is the statute. That is the accountability you have been asking for.

What you cannot do is post about it and call it done.

What “acting” actually means

A contest is not a speech. It is four acts, on a clock:

1. Complete a Notice of Contest and specify the grounds.

2. Serve Lisa Demuth and Ryan Wilson the way you serve a civil summons, and certified-mail a copy to each last-known address.

3. Furnish a copy to Secretary of State Steve Simon.

4. File the notice with the Court Administrator of Ramsey County District Court, 15 West Kellogg Boulevard, St. Paul.

Do all of that within five days after the canvass is completed. If that canvass was August 18, the deadline is August 23. Do not assume the clerk is open Sunday. File Friday.

A public call for a hand count is not that filing. My Supreme Court petition, Case No. A26-1462, is not that filing. They do different jobs. Chapter 209 is the contest of the vote.

Why this is the work

The pathway is documented.

One registered voter can vouch for eight people with no ID. Facility staff can vouch without that cap. Official training tells judges not to ask for identification. The handbook says select no license, no ID, no Social Security number — then mark “Vouched for.” St. Louis County’s own numbers showed hundreds of vouched Election Day registrations in one county in one general. A sitting commissioner has said modem-equipped systems are uncertified in roughly two-thirds of Minnesota counties.

That is not a glitch. That is a legislated industry. It exploits the farmer, the veteran, the parent, and every decent person who thought the rules were real.

If you wanted accountability, this is the hour it is on your shoulders. Citizens built this republic. Citizens either defend it or they watch it get processed.

What we have put in your hands

How-to and fill-in templates are ready. Use them as a starting point. Read the statute. Serve the papers. File on time. Copying a PDF and leaving it on your desk does nothing.

Lock-the-envelopes briefing:

I am preparing my own contest. If others file their own, each notice must still be individually served and filed. A crowd that waits for one man is how the syndicate wins.

The evidence still exists. The law still lets you reach it. After the clock runs, they can start destroying envelopes.

Get up. Stand up. File.

Christ is King.

These are starting points, not legal advice. Complete the blanks. Serve the papers. File in Ramsey County. A copy left on your desk does nothing.

Two ways. Self-represented people can do either. Attorneys must e-file.

Service on Demuth and Wilson is not the same as filing. You must do both, within five days after the canvass.

Easiest for most people: walk it in

Where

Ramsey County District Court — Civil Filing

15 West Kellogg Boulevard, Room 170

St. Paul, MN 55102

Phone: (651) 266-8253

Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

What to bring

• The signed Notice of Contest (at least the original plus copies for the court, each contestee, and Simon)

• Photo ID

• Payment for the civil filing fee (ask the clerk the current amount; if you cannot pay, ask for a fee-waiver / IFP form)

• If you have already served: the Affidavit of Service and certified-mail receipts

At the window

1. Tell them you are a self-represented litigant filing a new civil case: a Notice of Contest under Minnesota Statutes chapter 209 of a statewide primary nomination.

2. Venue is Ramsey County because it is a statewide office.

3. Ask them to open the case and file-stamp your copies.

4. Keep a file-stamped copy. That is your proof it was filed.

Do this Friday. The clerk is not open Sunday.

Optional: e-file (Minnesota eFS)

Self-represented filers may use it. It is not required.

1. Go to mncourts.gov/efile

2. Register a free account.

3. Start a new case in Ramsey County, category Civil.

4. Upload the Notice as a PDF.

5. Pay the filing fee when the system asks.

eFS does not replace personal / substituted service plus certified mail on the contestees. Section 209.021 still requires that.

Order that actually works

1. Complete and sign the Notice.

2. File it in Room 170 (or eFS) and get it file-stamped.

3. Serve Demuth and Wilson like a civil summons, and certified-mail a copy to each last-known address.

4. Furnish a copy to Steve Simon.

5. File the Affidavit of Service with the receipts.

If personal service cannot be made, the statute says an affidavit of the attempt plus the certified-mail affidavit is enough to give the court jurisdiction.

Who to call if the window is stuck

Civil Filing: (651) 266-8253

Main court: (651) 266-8266

They can tell you the fee and the line. They cannot fill out the Notice for you.
