Conflict of Interest

The man overseeing Minnesota’s contentious recount between incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman and comedian turned candidate Al Franken is a known Democratic cheerleader with ties to far-left organizations including ACORN and the Communist Party of the USA.

Secretary of State Mark Ritchie has not carried out his role in the traditionally non-partisan manner expected of the office by contributing money to the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Laborer Party and speaking with press at the Democratic National Convention about “ways Democrats can sway rural voters.” Most alarmingly, officials from ACORN and the Communist Party of the USA endorsed his candidacy for Secretary of State. Ritchie even highlighted ACORN’s endorsement on his campaign website.

Ritchie once worked as a leader of a coalition group that coordinated with ACORN in 2004. As Executive Director of the National Voice, Ritchie worked with a slew of left-wing get-out-the-vote organizations like ACORN and the People for the American Way under the umbrella group "The November 2 Project."
