Hubbard County Election Judge Pleads Guilty to Accepting Ineligible Ballots
Timothy M. Scouton admitted to felony charges involving 11 unregistered ballots from Election Day 2024; sentencing is set for May 18, according to court records.
- On Monday, March 23, head election judge Timothy Michael Scouton pleaded guilty to a felony for allowing 11 unregistered individuals to cast ballots during the November 2024 election at Badoura Township in Hubbard County.
- Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave discovered the investigation when required voter registration documentation for the 11 individuals was missing from election materials Scouton returned following Election Day in November 2024.
- Despite completing head election judge training, Scouton "made a decision to disregard state law," according to the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office, which noted such election worker crimes are "nearly unprecedented."
- Sentencing for the 65-year-old Nevis resident is scheduled for May 18, and Scouton has been permanently barred from serving as an election judge under his plea agreement.
- Minnesota law currently allows one registered voter to vouch for up to eight individuals without identification, a system that some observers argue creates vulnerabilities despite the rarity of documented election worker crimes.
