Did Tim Walz violate the law by helping his son vote?

Here is Tim Walz appearing to help his son vote.
According to Minnesota law a candidate can’t assist someone with voting.

It certainly raises questions! In Minnesota, the law that could be relevant here is Minnesota Statute 204C.06, which prohibits candidates from assisting voters in casting their ballots. Specifically, it states that no person may assist a voter in the marking of the ballot if they are a candidate for office or a candidate’s immediate family member. If Tim Walz was indeed assisting his son in voting, it could be interpreted as a violation of this law. Let the people decide!

Walz has a retarded son who is unable to cast a vote ?
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

The boy isn't MR/DD. He has a "nonverbal learning disability," diagnosed fairly recently.
Quote
“These individuals are very intelligent and articulate well verbally, but they are typically clumsy with motor and spatial coordination,” he told NBC News. “It’s called a learning disorder because there are a lot of cues other than verbal cues that are necessary for us to keep information in our memory.”

People with NVLD often struggle with visual-spatial skills, such as reading a map, following directions, identifying mathematical patterns, remembering how to navigate spaces or fitting blocks together. Social situations can also be difficult.  ...

The NBC News article states most adolescents with this condition usually have an average or above average IQ. It's hard to say that he qualifies as someone who needs assistance with voting.

Imbeciles are forbidden to vote.  Both father and sons vote should  be rejected.  I've heard his wife speak and add her to the list.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Yeah, I heard all that  "turn the page" nonsense.

Doesn't she know that pages are for Congress to bend over...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
