2nd congressional district race is gonna be fun; the leading GOP candidate is columnist jason lewis

https://ballotpedia.org/Minnesota%27s_2nd_Congressional_District_election,_2016

but he's not the only contender; there's some trumpist fascoid creep named Matt Erickson.

his about me page brags about beating up some Hmong kids who broke into his car, and his "152 IQ"

i wasn't kidding about the creep bit either

phyllis kahn is out:

District 60B Percent Votes
DFL
Phyllis Kahn
29.4% 1,726
Ilhan Omar
40.9% 2,402
Mohamud Noor
29.6% 1,738
Precincts reporting:
100% (12 of 12)

also (not so) weirdly a good way to win state level office seems to be to have a scandinavian name, i've been teaching in minnesota for about fifteen years and i don't usually see near as high a proportion of scando names in my classes as in the primary tickets

one fall ticket is going to be between christiansen and christensen !
