Are those Minnesota absentee voting forms in your mailbox legit?
MINNEAPOLIS — As Election Day nears, it's likely your mailbox is filled with letters and mailers encouraging you to vote, sometimes for a specific party or just in general.
But a certain type caught our attention. A WCCO employee got a form in the mail to register for an absentee ballot. It came from the Center for Voter Information with a St. Paul address.
The form inside already has your name and address, but it requires you to add your driver's license or ID number as well as your Social Security number. It even includes a paid envelope to send directly to your local election office.
It seems legitimate, but the request for personal information, along with not knowing what the Center for Voter Information is, can be troubling for some.
