Atlas Aegis, in a job advertisement that surfaced earlier this month, recruited for "security positions in Minnesota during the November Election and beyond to protect election polls, local businesses and residences from looting and destruction." The listing noted that the jobs were exclusive to U.S. special operations forces veterans.

The company is not licensed in Minnesota and has not disclosed what licensed entity it would work with. Its chairman, Anthony Caudle, recently told the Washington Post its guards would protect against "Antifas" and Black Lives Matter supporters who he said were intent on "destroying the election sites."

"Minnesota and federal law are clear: no one may interfere with or intimidate a voter at a polling place, and no one may operate private armed forces in our state," Ellison said in a statement Tuesday announcing the investigation. "The presence of private 'security' at polling places would violate these laws."

Appears to be an attempt at voter intimidation. Hopefully Ellison can get to the bottom of this and find out if others are behind this effort

Nothing in your quote shows voter intimidation is the intent, or would even happen. These security contractors may not even be seen, as they would likely not be staged in groups at polling stations themselves.

After the May riots/looting, and then again the downtown Target looting, added to the city council/mayor inability to function as adults, having election security seems a good idea.

If that corrupt marxist attorney general Ellison doesnt like it, he can put a stop to it.

Would you opinion on this be different if the company was based in Minnesota?

Why would a private firm hire people to go to polling places in general? Who would be funding such a venture? I’m having difficulty coming up with how this could be legitimate.
