Well looks like turnout in Minneapolis may at least top 2009.



For the record in 2009 R.T. Rybak was running essentially unopposed with only joke opposition and that was also true for most of the City Council so it's no surprise turnout dragged there.

I didn't, although I theoretically could. Getting an absentee ballot is a pain in the ass and the only election I could vote in would be a municipal election where all the candidates are NIMBYs (and there aren't any other relevant issues to base my vote on.) Not worth it!

I just got back from voting, pretty much all the standard 'Progress Texas' voting guide positions on the big state-wide stuff. I voted against a new 83m police HQ (our current one is really damn nice!) and against a nearly 170m 'Adult Rehabilitation & Detention' bond that was phrased in a very punitive way and for which I absolutely do not trust my local GOP, who is the majority in my county, to run ethically.

Voted in the affirmative for all the other bonds, including 5m for a new animal shelter, of course. Smile

New York City resident here. I voted early in person on the first day of early voting this year, October 28.

Nothing to vote for where I live since I'm not in the city limits of anywhere.

It's funny that the local DFL has moved so far to the left that Andrea Jenkins is now some kind of moderate centrist.

We don't have results for ranked choice vote yet, so it's possible that Minneapolis will avoid becoming the first midwestern soviet commune... at least for the next two years.

Based on the early results Frey still has a veto proof bloc.

I didn't vote because Wisconsin didn't have elections. It was nice to have the day off from working the polls. :)

Do you know if the DFL is already talking about who could replace Frey in a couple years? Any personal preferences?

It's unclear if he runs again, if he does he's no doubt favored, if he doesn't then I imagine it'll be a free for all.

We need a "No, I am an American, but I live in a colony." option.
That's option 2. Puerto Rico still has elections the same years the mainland US does.

Puerto Rico does not have midterm elections.

Is your non-voting delegate to the House not elected for a 2-year term?

No. It's once every four years, and they don't really matter in any substantive way anyways.
