The Minnesota Republican Party has started gearing up recount@mngop.com and a "recount hotline" to get voters' help on issues that may soon be seen in recount litigation in the governor's race.
"We need your help," the party said in an email to supporters.
One email asked voters to report any "irregularities" on Election Day to the party. Another asked them to contact the party regarding absentee ballots.
"If you voted absentee, please check the Minnesota Secretary of State's website at https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/AbsenteeBallotStatus.aspx to see if your vote was counted. If your vote was not counted, and you did not vote in person on election day, please email the recount team," the email said. The email gave a GOP recount email address and "recount hotline" for voters to call.
The email makes clear what kind of voters they are looking for.
"If you are a Republican activist and voted absentee, we want to ensure that your ballot was counted," said one of the two emails.
