In-person voting begins Friday in Minnesota and South Dakota

(AP) – Minnesota, South Dakota and Virginia will be the first in the United States to begin in-person voting in the 2024 presidential election Friday.
While there was a “glitch” in Minnesota’s new automatic voter registration system, Secretary of State Steve Simon said Thursday that nobody who was ineligible voted in the August primary as a result of the problem.
That had been one of the questions that Minnesota Republicans last week said was still hanging after Simon and other state officials said they had made changes to the system after flagging around 1,000 potentially problematic registrations.
Minnesota’s new system went live in April. Residents who apply for state-issued IDs such as driver’s licenses are now automatically registered to vote without having to opt in, assuming they’re eligible to vote.
