Star Tribune "Hot Dish Blog
"Posted by: Paul Walsh under 2012 Presidential election, Minnesota campaigns Updated: November 6, 2012 - 9:29 AM
"Several hundred people were in line this morning at the Sibley Park voting station in south Minneapolis.
"They covered three sides of a city block.
An election official, binder in hand, walked the line and checked to make sure folks were at their correct voting location, because polling locations for many voters in the area had changed because of redistricting...."
The election officials were good.
I voted for Obama; which also meant voting for Biden. If President and Vice President weren't linked, I would likely have voted for a third party VP candidate rather than Biden.
Given Ranked Choice Voting (aka Single Transferable Vote), I would have placed three third-party tickets ahead of the Democratic ticket. The Libertarians nominated a libertarian this time, which they haven't always. After that, the Green and Justice candidates.
