Next was the Lao Family election last December. One that I found flawed to begin with. Our election process was so flawed, it makes you wonder who came up with the idea. The election was meant to be open to the Hmong public. I don't know what they mean by open, but if you didn't registered, you were not allowed to vote. To me, this was a private club or membership vote. If you were a Hmong and showed your residency in Minnesota, you should be allowed to vote. Instead, they passed out voting registration forms. You had to fill out this form before you can vote. The form included all of the information that was on your driver's license or MN ID card.
