Election judge who allowed 11 unregistered people to vote pleads guilty

Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office is unaware of any election judge facing similar charges.

By Kim Hyatt, The Minnesota Star Tribune, March 23, 2026 at 7:21PM

An election judge in northern Minnesota’s Hubbard County has pleaded guilty to a felony Monday, March 23, for allowing 11 unregistered people to vote in November 2024.

Timothy Scouton, 65, of Nevis, Minn., was charged with two counts: accepting ballots from the unregistered voters and neglect of duty in his posting at the Badoura Township precinct in Hubbard County.

The Minnesota Secretary of State’s office said in a statement to the Minnesota Star Tribune that “Scouton made a decision to disregard state law,” but said his actions were caught immediately. Officials in the office said they are unaware of any other instance of an election judge knowingly allowing people to vote without registering.

“Election crimes are extremely rare. Election-related crimes by election workers are nearly unprecedented,” the office said.

Scouton fought back tears in the virtual court hearing Monday, his voice cracking as he admitted that “I allowed people to vote without proper registration.” When the judge asked him why that’s a crime, Scouton said it’s because “I was head election judge.”

He is prohibited by the county from serving in that role again.
