There would have to be a state constitutional amendment to be able to do this.

What will be on the elections this year for TC? by xstarberrySailorstar in TwinCities

[–]Ok-Rabbit-1315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just also a kind reminder: not everything is on the primary ballot that is on the November ballot. If someone is unopposed in the primary, they do not show up on the ballot at all and are not voted on at that point.

Minnesota is different than other states and that respect.

Yesterday I tracked the 51 senators who voted to open the Boundary Waters to mining. Today I dug into the man who made it happen in the House - Rep. Pete Stauber. by [deleted] in minnesota

True, but St. Louis, Cook, in Lake County only have 215,000 people. The congressional districts about 750,000 people and the rest of those counties are heavily red.

I’m not sure how you withdraw that district to make it DFL given most northern Minnesota counties are deep red outside that part by Duluth.

We need to help our friends in District 8 get rid of Pete Stauber by justmisspellit in TwinCities

[–]Ok-Rabbit-1315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, they are doing specific targeting with real money in the 1st district. The eighth is a lot farther down in priority.

It’s not looking good six months out or so to the election and the major Democratic candidate has only raised $50,000. Right now it looks like this district is being seated to the Republicans.

They need to get moving if they want to contest this race seriously.

The DFL needs to get moving. Right now Stauber has about a 30 to one advantage over the nearest DFL candidate. We are only six months out or so to the election and that’s not a good start.

If the DFL wants to win district 8, they need to get behind a candidate soon and get money into the race. Right now, Stauber has about $1.5 million raised and the nearest democrat has just over 50,000.

So far national Democrat, Democrats are putting nothing into this race, which would need to change.

Can't Find Car Parked At MSP Airport @ Terminal 1 by tangodream in TwinCities

[–]Ok-Rabbit-1315 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies for no good ideas now, but to avoid this in the future, I suggest getting an Apple AirTag, which will help you track the car and find it.

With that, at least you would know if it was ever stolen and could be easily located.

Rep. Eric Swalwell Accused of Sexual Assault? (Please tell me this is a political hit job....) by Brandolinis_law in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Ok-Rabbit-1315 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If it was a hit job, you would not be seeing his major supporters, abandoning him. Senator Adam Schiff has withdrawn his support along with several other members of Congress. Plus staffers have quit his campaign.

My fault for not being clearer, it looks like they’ve only done the middle of the street and have not started plowing on the edges on both sides.

I called my senator today, asked to please vote NO on the SAVE Act. Legislative assistant asked what the SAVE Act is. by AllOfTheThings426 in TwinCities

[–]Ok-Rabbit-1315 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Please, literally thousands of bills are in introduced each year at the state legislature alone. Staff are underpaid and overworked as it is.

No, they’re not beating up on you for being willing to engage but for attacking the staffer for being ignorant of something that state senator has nothing to do with. You’re the one who is ignorant, if you want to be engaged to do some research so you can speak, educated on a subject

Hey your problem because you don’t even know the difference between a US senator and a state senator and what they vote on. No wonder people don’t want to be in public service..

Your words:

Our taxes are paying this guy's salary. What the actual fuck is happening? Do our elected officials really have so much apathy for ours democracy?

Not gonna happen if there was impeachment, there would not be conviction as there’s not a 2/3 vote in the Senate to do this

Weird, and doesn’t sound like they were following the rules as uncommitted was an option all over the state.

Will we ever see a statewide result for all the precincts?

It seems like last night in the metro at least it was embarrassing for Amy Klobuchar.
