1. Thank you for that. Excellent news.

[question everything]

2. Yes, some solace locally Dr. Morrison replacing Phillips and a council member at large

The only maddening is keeping the incumbent local school board members who have been running it badly.

3. Latest I've heard, they are expecting the state house to be tied, so we'll have a "2 1/2 fecta" instead of a trifecta

Expecting a tie in the Minnesota House, party leaders look to share power, MPR 11/6/24

A one seat majority in the senate and a zero seat margin in the house.

4. Hello

Hello. I am just introducing myself. I wasn't sure where I should do this and I can't start a post yet, so I figured I would reply in my home state forum. I'm in the Cloquet area and have lurked here for a while but finally decided to join for the election. Very disappointed in the outcome to say the least. I had to attend a funeral today and it feels like two funerals. I just learned that my county (Carlton) went red for the first time since 1928. They sent a wife batterer Jeff Dotseth back for another term over a respected attorney. I don't understand what's happening to my country and here in Minnesota. I feel cheated and lied to. Well, I'm glad to be here formally now anyway. Thank you.
