WCCO and KSTP pick up MnIndy’s story about voter issues at Brian Coyle Center

(Updated at 8:19 p.m.) Today I was interviewed by WCCO’s Esme Murphy about my story regarding voter allegations of illegal activity and intimidation at Brian Coyle Center yesterday. The main issue, as we reported yesterday, was that a Coleman campaign staffer named Mahamoud Wardere was on hand nearly the entire day, at least from 11:00 a.m. till past 3:00 p.m., acting as an interpreter and/or challenger. And a handful of voters–at least three to me and two to an election observer–complained that interpreters were telling people to vote for Norm Coleman.

At the end of her report, Murphy noted that Norm Coleman’s campaign manager, Cullen Sheehan, said Wardere did nothing wrong. He was only there to act as an interpreter, Sheehan said, and he had a “Republican attorney with him at all times.”

Yet that’s not the entire story.
