I know and that's why I mentioned a special filing period. If only one or two filed, a primary would not be a necessity but we're so far into the election process that a dilly dally by a week or two would then require the special election.
Keep in mind that a special election creates a big cost for the county and poor voter turnout. I have not spoken to any county officials since this happened, but I 'recon I will soon.

ALBERT LEA, MN (KTTC-DT) -- A Freeborn County Commissioner has been arrested in connection with fraud allegations.
Albert Lea police arrested 59-year-old Linda Tuttle, who is in her first term as commissioner for District 5, which covers Pickerel Lake Township except for Conger and covers the south side of Albert Lea and a strip west of Highway 13.
Tuttle owns Albert Lea Abstract & Title Co., which investigators searched Tuesday.
The business is closed until further notice.
Albert Lea Police Chief Dwaine Winkels had this to say to Tuttle's customers, "We recognize that a title agency involves a lot of real estate people, mortgage people and a lot of individuals trying to close on their homes. And unfortunately for those who are trying to close this week -- if we have those files it's probably going to be difficult to make that happen."
Officials hope to meet with Abstract and set-up a system to contact those customers, and eventually make the closures happen.
Tuttle will most likely be charged Thursday.

If this case & the Strong case are two separate case, why isn't the Freeborn County Attorney bring the charges? I can understand the conflict when the charged is a brother and/or a sister but why can't he bring charges on a county commissioner. I guess he is still over worked and under paid, so the county has to go elsewhere to get its work done.

The terrible thing about it is the other abstract agency has been known to hold titles and play games with clients. Linda was good at what she did compared the the other gal. Now there's no choice and this other abstract firm is licking it's lips and it's terrible for the real estate market. This town seems determine to strangle itself at all costs.

gijoeman - It is very sad that this has happened and what this has done to the community and also all the jobs that were held there. at ALAC. These are very serious charges! I am in real estate and I actually prefered working with Minnesota Abstract compared to Albert Lea Abstract. They will do a good job for everyone. To my knowledge they never held titles or played any games, but I personally have had ALAC do that!
