But I think most people in Minnesota if they were asked, "What does the Secretary of State do?"
Most of them would point to our function and responsibilities in elections.
We are the chief elections administrator for the state of Minnesota.
So we oversee the elections process everywhere.
We don't count any of the votes.
We don't hire the election judges or buy the elections equipment, but we facilitate all of that, and we do many other functions, like all the legislative and policy work as well, so we oversee really the democracy process in Minnesota.
