Kiffmeyer writes letter to county attorney about Kathleen Soliah's voting history
Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer, R-Big Lake, has sent a letter to Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner regarding the voting history of former SLA member Kathleen Soliah, recently paroled from California state prison after serving time for crimes conducted as a member of the underground group.
Kiffmeyer, former secretary of state, indicated she had contacted the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office shortly after Soliah, living under the name Sara Jane Olson, was arrested.
In the March 20 letter, Kiffmeyer wrote to Gaertner saying at the time of the arrest, Gaertner said she would see how things developed in California before moving forward to investigate Soliah’s activities in Minnesota.
Kiffmeyer indicated in her letter that Gaertner rebuffed — “admonished” her — on a more recent inquiry into the Soliah voting matter.
Kiffmeyer has Gaertner arguing that her office had more pressing matters to deal with and that it was only one vote, after all.
It’s still an important matter, Kiffmeyer insists.
“Clearly, for every time that Soliah voted fraudulently, she stole the vote of a legimate Minnesota voter,” Kiffmeyer opines in the letter.
Kiffmeyer indicated in the letter that she was acting at the behest of a constituent.
