The walkover districts: Uncontested Minnesota Legislative races tilt strongly in DFL's favor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re calling it now: DFL candidates will handily win 17 state House and four Senate seats in this fall’s election. It didn’t take a fancy forecasting system to make this prediction. No, that’s the number of Minnesota legislative races with no Republican candidate, making them so-called walkover wins for the DFL candidates. No major party has had so few candidates running in a House and Senate election year since at least the 1990s, according to a MinnPost review of state voting data. In contras
