5th CD Primary Analysis
I’m currently compiling the precinct breakdowns. I’ll post a combined Excel file as soon as I’m done, with my own analysis later today. I’m still not at 100% physically - I’ll ramp up to my previous posting quantity and quality slowly.
Quick quote from the Strib wrap-up article:
His campaign gambled on volunteers, direct mail and a massive get-out-the vote effort instead of a higher profile media campaign. Ellison preached peace and inclusion, labor and the environment.
That was no gamble - that’s a campaign with its priorities straight.
Here is the source file I’ll be using for my analysis. I used the data from Hennepin, Anoka and Ramsey counties since the Secretary of State doesn’t break down the data by recognizable place names, but instead assigns an ID code to each precint.

Blanked,
Along with covering primary night at the Blue Nile, I have some analysis I whipped together. I should be able to look a little deeper into the numbers this weekend. Or at least I hope to.

Preach it from the rafters. As Vikings fans should know, a great aerial attack can be pretty, but it gets you nowhere if you lack a ground game.

That is exactly what happened.

“This campaign should be about the issues that are important to Minnesotans. This is not one of those issues.”
I think stealing and lying are important issues to Minnesota.

‘Ellison preached peace and inclusion, labor and the environment’
Oh, so he’s a peaceful and inclusive Muslum. I don’t even know a single dim politician that does this. Wow, i’m so impressed. NOT!
