Adam Schwarze Alleges 2012 Minnesota Vote Fraud After Records Show Ballot Cast 2,000 Miles Away

Summary
Minnesota records show GOP Senate candidate Adam Schwarze voted in person in the 2012 presidential election, but he says he was in Navy SEAL training in California and could not have cast that ballot.
A fact-check of Schwarze’s claim that he had only voted for Donald Trump led him to the record; BUD/S orders reviewed by Fox News Digital show he reported for the roughly six-month course on June 12, 2012.
State records also indicate someone registered Schwarze to vote on the day of Minneapolis’s 2009 mayoral election, and he said state officials have not yet provided more detail, including who he is listed as supporting in 2012.
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon’s office did not address Schwarze’s specific case, instead pointing to state and federal safeguards and citing Minnesota’s top ranking on MIT’s Election Performance Index.
Schwarze is using the episode to press for voter ID, paper ballots and a broader review of election logs, tying his allegations to wider scrutiny of fraud controls in Minnesota.
