It took a lawsuit to do it, but election officials in Todd County, Minnesota, have reached a settlement with the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) for officials to implement a new system to ensure that duplicate voters are identified and removed from current and future voter rolls.

Todd County agreed to remove 22 duplicate voter registrations currently on the rolls.
