looking at the sample ballot. . . things that stand out to me -
this is really the choices? 2 marijuana parties out of 4 choices lol?
August 9, 2022 Special Election Information
Candidates on August 9 ballot
Haroun McClellan, Grassroots-Legalize Cannabis Party
Richard B. Reisdorf, Legal Marijuana Now Party
Brad Finstad, Republican Party
Jeff Ettinger, Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party
Is that really a real person named "Ole' Savior? sure that isn't a Soviet agent?
Governor & Lt Governor Ole Savior and Julia M Parker DEMOCRATIC-FARMER-LABOR
Matt Birk is the running mate? Didn't know that seems like that would be more talked about . entertainers and politics ick!
Governor & Lt Governor Scott Jensen and Matt Birk REPUBLICAN
So the Hagedorn seat is for keeps in this election?
and the rest are just primaries and we can only vote a straight party ticket?
still don't get the 2 marijuana party thing. . .

Just stick to entertainment nobody wants to hear your politics. . sports should be a unifying distraction of sorts. . . imo The Nook and Shamrock’s, the St. Paul burger joints with a cult-like following, have changed the name of their Matt Birk Burger after a dustup among customers and an online petition that garnered 176 signatures.
Owner Mike Runyon didn’t say whether Birk’s recent comments regarding abortion factored into the decision. In fact, he didn’t really want to talk about it much at all.
“We always say no politics in bars and restaurants,” Runyon said.
He cited that as the reason for the change — the menu now labels the burger The Double Stack Pepperjack Burger.
“We always do accolades of people who went to Cretin (Derham Hall),” Runyon said. “But once you get into politics, it changes things. Now he’s doing a different thing.”
Birk, who is running for lieutenant governor alongside fellow abortion-rights opponent and gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen, graduated from Cretin-Derham Hall, a Catholic high school, in 1994. The high school is directly across the street from The Nook.
Comments on the petition, started at Change.org, indicate that signers were upset over Birk’s recent comments about abortion rights at a Right to Life conference in Georgia in late June.
At one point, Birk said: “Rape is obviously a horrible thing. But an abortion is not going to heal the wounds of that, and two wrongs, it’s not going to make it right.”

Personally I don't smoke cigarettes think they stink, marijuana smells worse..makes your house and clothes stink.
Have a neighbor two houses away who smokes both cigarettes and marijuana, nice guy but when the wind is right, well you get the drift. he's got to be mid 50's in age.
But look at all the young people getting arrested getting a criminal record over what marijuana...I think the Prohibition by the Republican Party here in Minnesota is costing us taxpayers more than it's worth and ruining the lives of young people.
It was the Republican Party that brought US prohibition of alcohol another failed policy...
The Republican Party are temperance crusaders interfering in the American Citizens right to choose....
I won't waste a vote on either of the two marijuana candidates if we get rid of the heavy handed Republicans Walz and the Democrats believe in peoples rights..

hah! you just knew it had to be something like that. . . QUOTE
One of Minnesota’s two cannabis legalization parties plans to police ‘bogus’ candidates in 2022 election
The push comes in response to the 2020 election, when Republican operatives recruited candidates to file for office under the banner of one of the state’s two marijuana parties — moves that likely siphoned votes away from some DFLers.

Republican Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka, of East Gull Lake, repeated Thursday that he is not interested in legalization and it is not going to happen....
Jeremy Miller is the current Republican Senate Majority Leader or should I say temperance crusader...

Both parties are screwing things up between legalizing marijuana and sports betting.

And with a little kick, the Republicans will control the house and the Governor’s chair too.
If they do, I hope they don’t screw it up, again.

a guy was gonna vote straight MARIJUANA ticket. but when he got there. it wasn't one of the available options. . 
was thinking to myself: hope if there's an active shooter incident. there will be some Dodo like Anus T around. to distract the shooter. when they shoot them trying get their gun out of the holster. . .
you know. . cause he can't go anywhere without it. .

^^ yes, I don’t go anywhere without it, I imagine you don’t go anywhere without Kraken

^^Minnesota doesn't have laws about carrying in a polling place to my knowledge, but you may well find yourself in violation of the MN. carry stature..Individual polling place such a Federal, County, City buildings and Schools are off limits for conceal carry, as well as Churches that are posted..etc.
Posted by Brand New Day on Aug. 09 2022,12:53 pm

I’m guessing you’re one of the idiots that believe in open carry, just like the Wild West

^^You could really get yourself in a situation where you might get your Lady Smith confiscated...and face a legal penalty..get your carry permit revoked.
I've got a concealed gun safe in a hidden area in my pickup, if I have to go into the Courthouse or School I'll lock my weapon in the safe and lock the truck.
But then you're MAGA above the law...

^^ if I carried a chunk like your Hi Point I’d leave it in the truck too.Leaving a firearm in a vehicle, locked or not, is just plain irresponsible, either carry it or don’t.
You never know, you just might need it

^^Not saying a gun safe can't be defeated but it would take some heavy duty tools and time..and they have to find the safe it's concealed...My truck also has a tamper alarm...I feel my pistol is secured and I'm staying legal..There's a point where you obey laws or you're the criminal..
Yeah he sure is a pretty boy..

^^ and if they steal the truck?
