Filed in Ramsey County District Court, it says that Atlas Aegis misrepresented the nature of a request for security work in Minnesota when it put out the call for poll guards. ADAccording to the settlement, an unnamed Minnesota security company sought help from outside the state in protecting a group of businesses against possible civil unrest surrounding the election. The company “never indicated that the work would involve any security at or near polling places,” the document reads. ADNevertheless, Atlas Aegis "advertised that the scope of work included security ‘to protect election polls,’ ” the document says. “I’m holding Atlas Aegis to account for their misstatements about recruiting security for polling places in Minnesota that potentially frightened Minnesota voters," Ellison said.
