Minnesota attorney fined $10,000 for ‘bamboozling’ voters into suing Democrats over 2020 election...

A Minnesota attorney who “bamboozled” voters into signing legal challenges to the November election against five congressional Democrats has been fined thousands of dollars.

Attorney Susan Shogren Smith, who was a member of the Minnesota Election Integrity Team (MNEIT) was given a $10,000 sanction on Friday after a judge found she duped people into signing complaints as plaintiffs, The Pioneer Press reported.

“Susan Shogren Smith … perpetrated a fraud against this court and, more importantly, perpetrated a fraud against these plaintiffs,” Ramsey County Chief District Judge Leonardo Castro said according to the newspaper.

Amid the ongoing election disputes last year, Ms Shogren Smith is said to have filed five complaints in Ramsey County District Court, naming Secretary of State Steve Simon and the Democratic candidates who won their Congressional races as defendants.
