1. LOVE! From Minnesota.

We like our elections how we like 'em!

We'll keep them the way they are unless there's a good reason to change them. (And there's no good reason to change what we already do so well.)

2. Marriage amendment also defeated!!

We really did not want to introduce discrimination into our Constitution. Hopefully our now Democratic House, Senate and Governor can clean some more of the hate out our laws.
