Minnesota urban poll report: Van Cleve Park Building- just a bit over an hour wait, but the line had doubled by 11 am. Four years ago I was out in 15 minutes. Several young new registrants- You can register on the day. Over all, the youth of this college neighborhood seemed to be out in great numbers. The usual over 60 year old poll workers neighbors were joined by a big crew of young volunteers- I liked seeing that too.
No irregularities. Legal guy standing by for questions. He weighed in when it was suggested the line wind through a different hallway of the park building- that was given the kibash because of a nearby outside doorway that could not be seen by the officials. It was just cool to be there. Regularly in the 60%s, I bet MN hits a new turnout record.
