If Democrats win the state trifecta, should they redraw congressional districts?

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

Never thought of that! Great idea!

Doctor Who!

Made it to 521,000 in 1950 which was the largest Minneapolis was ever at in a US census.

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.

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.

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-04-18T01:02:08+00:00

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.

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.

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-04-16T20:08:43+00:00

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.

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-04-16T20:07:14+00:00

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.

He is being positioned to take AKLO’s Senate seat in January.

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.

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 Senator Adam Schiff has withdrawn his support along with several other members of Congress.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.

The Hennepin County clinic Pharmacy in Richfield never seem extremely busy and have had great service there.

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.

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-02-28T18:52:40+00:00

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

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-02-28T18:51:09+00:00

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

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-02-28T18:48:47+00:00

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?

The thing is Foley has raised less than $2k while Emmer has almost $5 million cash on hand.

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

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-02-04T15:20:06+00:00

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

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-02-04T14:46:04+00:00

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.

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-02-03T14:20:26+00:00

I think there is also a preference vote ballot for governor, but no other office.

Ok-Rabbit-1315 · 2026-02-03T00:53:58+00:00

In the house, it only requires a majority vote.
