The tl;dr is “vote for the DFLer” but I e-mailed every Republican running in a city district to ask who they think won the Presidential race in 2020 and now I need a post to share the results.

A note — for the incumbents, I pulled up the list of bills where they were the principal author. To find this, pull up the legislator at https://www.house.mn.gov/ and under member links you’ll see one to “Bills Chief Authored.” It shows what they chief authored in the last session. You can also see what they co-authored.

If Ward 5 was the most baffling overall, Ward 6 has the most baffling political candidate: an immigrant Muslim woman who’s running as a Republican on a Democratic platform and who went to a Trump rally. She’s not going to win (I mean, come on, she has “Republican” after her name on the ballot and this ward includes Seward) but I’m probably going to spend more time than is really warranted because of the “wait, hang on, what?” factor here.

This ward’s race also has a DFL-endorsed incumbent and a challenger who is endorsed by all the progressive groups. A fourth candidate, arrested for drunk driving in July, didn’t wind up filing.

On the ballot:

Abdi Warsame (DFL, incumbent, endorsed)
Mohamud Noor (DFL)
Fadumo Yusuf (Republican)
