(146,338 posts)The only partisan race on my ballot was Minnesota CD-4. Our state legislative races have no primary opponents for the DFL party or the Republican party. There was a State Supreme court election, though. The incumbent in our district is doing a great job, so she got my vote.
Betty McCollum is my representative. She's terrific. She also got my vote this morning.
Turnout, sadly, is very low, as usual.

(146,338 posts)but not on our primary ballot. There's no Green Party primary ballot in Minnesota for the presidential election. In fact, there are no Presidential candidates on any primary ballots here in 2016.
In 2020, though, we'll have presidential primaries instead of caucuses. That will be a great change.

(115,900 posts)I want to be sure Natalie Hudson keeps her Supreme Court spot. Her opponents are crackpots.

(146,338 posts)I don't think there will be a problem, really. She's the incumbent, and that's on the ballot. Generally, people vote for incumbent justices without even thinking about it. She's doing a fine job.
