The chairman’s letters also demanded information on how states remove deceased and relocated registrants to prevent fraud, and how they notify ineligible registrants already on the rolls.

A carbon copy of each letter was also sent to House Administration Committee ranking member Joe Morelle, D-N.Y.

Minnesota’s voting system also came under scrutiny over its "vouching" policy, which allows a registered voter to "vouch" for up to eight other people seeking same-day registration.

An official in Simon’s office told Fox News Digital that the vouching policy has been intact for "more than 50 years."

Simon deputy communications director Cassondra Knudson said at the time that several measures are in place to help keep the election system in Minnesota secure under the vouching policy, and that "vouching can only be used to provide proof of a potential voter’s residence in the precinct."
