Ep. 238: Candidate eligibility fraud: How one man challenged his opponent—and changed politics in Minnesota
About this episode
In publicly telling his story for the first time, former GOP candidate Paul Wikstrom spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about how his challenge to election fraud ultimately helped shine a light on all the other kinds of fraud in Minnesota.
Wikstrom explained how he was running against DFL opponent Curtis Johnson to represent District 40B in the Minnesota House. But something wasn't right. Johnson didn't actually live in the district, as required by state law.
After investigating, Wikstrom challenged the election and Johnson was disqualified, which led to a special election. Wikstrom didn't win. But his investigation and challenge helped put a stop to the DFL and "their runaway spending,” he said. Wikstrom also explained how the focus on fraud at the legislature “all started with a challenge to election fraud.”
