“I want to thank law enforcement and Attorney General Steve Marshall and his staff for the hard work and quality investigation skills that lead to these important indictments. Today’s news is the latest example of why I fought so hard to pass SB1,the bill that criminalized absentee ballot application harvesting. Crimes like these are an affront to our elections, our communities and the fabric of our constitutional republic.As we approach the May 19 elections, anyone planning to engage in this illegal activity should consider this a warning. You will not get away with it.”
