Minnesota - 64% Turnout and Two Flipped House Seats

[MineralMan]

We also flipped our State legislative House, re-elected Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar to the Senate, and elected Keith Ellison to be our next Attorney General.

There are still two undecided House seats, though, so we'll have to wait a bit. Our most Trump-like House Member, Jason Lewis, was voted out and replaced by Angie Craig, who will do a great job, I think.

ETA: We also elected a young, Muslim, black immigrant woman to the House, to fill Keith Ellison's seat. That's huge!

So, yesterday was far from all bad news.

1. Two flipped House seats in Iowa as well. Lots of great things happened

for the Democrats in the Upper Midwest yesterday, despite a number of setbacks.

3. Yes. Positive things happened yesterday.

Perhaps not enough, but we made some progress. On to 2020!

2. Good for Minnesota.

We need more results like this. "All government is local." Taking the Federal House was vital to stop some bleeding, but we need the States to start getting rid of their GOP idiots.

Alas that Florida doesn't seem to think that way, but you can't win 'em all.

5. Thanks. I know that not every state got the results people wanted.

That's very disappointing. But, we need to celebrate the victories we did get, wherever they are.
