Diana Hamilton, a lawyer, said she had this encounter at Precinct 32, Oxboro Evangelical Free Church, in Bloomington

The city of Bloomington referred questions about Hamilton's allegation to Hennepin elections chief Rachel Smith. Smith told me that the incident is under investigation, but said election officials in Bloomington say this was a misunderstanding. The election judge in question was referring to the oath Hamilton had signed, and may have talked about the part about affirming that she was not a felon, Smith said. It's possible that the entire oath was not read.

"Whether or not [the terms in the oath] were all read, it's hard to know exactly," Smith said. She emphasized that the county and the city took the allegation seriously and were committed to getting to the bottom of what happened.

Hamilton is doubtful about the city's explanation. She said that she had already signed the oath when the judge, holding the ticket in the air, made her say she hadn't committed a felony. No one else at the poll was asked that question, Hamilton said.

Did anyone else get any unexpected questions at the polls?
