Mark Ritchie File 2 Minnesota S.O.S. Helped Found Socialist Party With Ties to President Obama
Mark Ritchie file 1 here
Controversial Minnesota Democratic - Farmer - Labor Party Secretary of State Mark Ritchie was formerly a key member of radical socialist "alternative" political party - a party that helped launch the political career of Barack Obama.

While New Party leaders always touted their party as non socialist and analysis of its leadership gives lie to that claim.
New Party News Fall 1994 listed over 100 activists -"some of the community leaders, organizers, retirees,, scholars, artists, parents, students, doctors, writers and other activists who are building the NP"

Mark Ritchie's New Party comrades included;
From New Party News Spring 1996 page 1;
Mark Ritchie, as Minnesota Secretary of state has the responsibility of overseeing electoral recounts. This resulted in considerable controversy in 2009 when Ritchie handed a U.S Senate seat to leftist former comedian Al Franken, though his Republican opponent was ahead on election night.
Now Mark Ritchie is set to oversee another recount that could put leftist Democrat and long time Ritchie associate Mark Dayton in the Minnesota Governor's mansion.
Interestingly Ritchie serves on Advisory committee of Wellstone Action with Franken, Dayton and Democratic Socialists of America member, New Party founder and Progressives for Obama endorser Frances Fox Piven.
The fact that Mark Ritchie once helped lead a covertly socialist political party with close ties to President Barack Obama must cast doubt on his impartiality and suitability for the position.

Paula
Can we now refer to the Democratic Party as the Communist Party of America.
Soros-supported ‘Secretary of State Project’ dealt blow in midterm elections
The plans of radical philanthropist George Soros and his billionaire allies to make it easier for state officials to affect the outcomes of elections through chicanery were dealt a temporary setback last week.
That’s because five out of seven candidates backed by the Soros-supported “Secretary of State (SoS) Project” went down in flames November 2.
