If The Facts Are Against You, And The Law Is Against You
By Mitch Berg
Stipulated: the DFL is Minnesota’s abusive spouse. I
It’s in the phase of spousal abuse where the first round of resistance has led to an amping-up of the gaslighting and projection:
That, and their messaging can not be intended to influence anyone but the stupid, the ill-informed and the uncritical, can it?
“Losing the popular vote for the house?” There is no “popular vote for the house”. There 134 district elections – nothing more.
And in one of those districts, neither the state DFL, nor the HD40B committee, nor the voters did their due diligence to find that their candidate was lying about living in the district.
The DFL wants to use their “mistake” to deny representation to half the state.
“Minnesotans voted for a tied house?” No – but if you want to look at it that way, half of Minnesota voted for a GOP House. And just under half of the state voted for a DFL House. And one district voted for a liar, either with the connivance or via the incompetence of the state DFL.
Why not “Share power”?
To paraphrase the great political sage Tim Walz, “when you have political capital, you use it”
The giggly fratboys of the DFL said that two years ago. Today, the line has apparently changed to “we dont’ have any capital, and if you don’t lend us some ’til payday, we’re going to throw a tantrum”.
And we may not be done:
Mohamed Jama, a potential top contender in a crowded special election to represent the safely Democratic district in northeast Minneapolis and Cedar-Riverside, likely does not meet the residency requirements according to state voter data.
Sonia Neculescu, a former DFL House candidate and resident of the district, filed a challenge to his candidacy with the state Supreme Court on Monday alleging Jama registered to vote on Election Day in neighboring Senate District 63 in November.
Under state law, candidates must live in the district they’re running to represent for at least six months prior to the election.
Jama did not immediately return a voicemail seeking comment.
Abby Wolters is running in 60B on the GOP side, after winning 30% of the vote at the U of M last November. She could use your support.

Fascinating. Depressing, but fascinating. Thanks for the updates, Mitch.

One might joke that Minnesota Democrats are trying to follow the path of Illinois politicians of terms in office interspersed with terms in jail. Last time I checked, signing that one was eligible to vote, or run, in a precinct when one was not was perjury, a felony.

In this age, where everyday citizens have instant access to the raw data, unfiltered by the MSM, can we categorize any of them as being simply uninformed, instead of just willfully ignorant?

” . . . their messaging can not be intended to influence anyone but the stupid, the ill-informed and the uncritical, can it?”
That gives them a clear majority in the metro area.
