The website Minnesotans can use to track their absentee ballots briefly went dark Saturday morning along with other parts of the state’s online voter registration system with just three days to go until the Nov. 3 election.

A spokeswoman for Secretary of State Steve Simon said access to the public-facing tools were restored midmorning, after an apparent “hardware issue impacting the online tools for voters.”

The problem also affected the Statewide Voter Registration System. Parts of that internal voter registration system remained offline late Saturday morning.

Secretary of State spokesperson Risikat Adesaogun said that voters should still be able to cast their absentee ballots during the outage thanks to a backup process for administering ballots when the voter registration system is down. Lines at in-person early voting sites may be longer, however, as a result, she said.

3. I can hear someone saying, "The site will only be down few minutes for us to upload this hack...

...We'll do it early in the morning so most people won't notice..."

4. Trump was shown on CNN earlier acting confident...

... that Minnesota would be won by him.

5. He always does that.

It means nothing.

He also says the GOP is going to retake the House. Buy that?

6. That's my assumption too. He lies so much, and he...

... believes his own lies too.

I just put nothing past those crooks either.
