Scott Jensen on Principles & Values

	Scott Jensen on Principles & Values

2020 election shenanigans crossed line of election integrity

At a Minnesota Republican primary debate in December, Jensen would not offer a firm answer when asked if he thinks Biden won a "constitutional majority" in the Electoral College. Instead, he responded, "I can't know what I don't know, and I think that we have to take that attitude towards 2020."

Jensen went on to uncritically report that someone on the ground in Arizona's Maricopa County, where Republicans conducted a partisan sham "audit," had told him that thousands more mail-in ballots were returned than were sent out to voters; that claim is based on a misunderstanding of the county's records. He then added, "I don't think there's any question that we've had enough shenanigans that we should want to do something about our election integrity. Which states crossed the line, which states hit a certain threshold, I can't know that."

The Jensen campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

A governor should serve to preserve, protect and prepare

A governor should serve to preserve, protect and prepare. Those three principles are immutable--they are the standard for every governor. I am running for Governor because these principals have not been met by our current administration. Source: 2022 Minnesota Governor campaign website DrScottJensen.com , Dec 30, 2021

Can't know what I don't know about 2020 election

HUGH HEWITT, DEBATE MODERATOR: In your opinion, did President Biden win the constitutional majority of the electoral college?

DR. SCOTT JENSEN: I can`t know what I don`t know. And I think we have to take that attitude towards 2020.

MAYOR MIKE MURPHY: I do believe there was voter fraud at a massive scale across this country.

STATE SEN. PAUL GAZELKA: I don`t think the election was fair, but I do think we have the results that we have. The electoral college is the way that we determine the election.

STATE SEN. MICHELLE BENSON: The more we watch, the less they cheat.
