It's Election Day for Minnesotans, but did voters know that?
The Brief Tuesday was Election Day for tens of thousands of people in Minnesota, but voter turnout was very low. People in Minnesota House District 34B had the chance to pick the DFL candidate who would be expected to win assassinated Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman's seat in November. One voter told us he forgot today was the day of the primary. Election officials expected about 10% turnout. The state's turnout in November 2024 was 76%. BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. (FOX 9) - Election Day came Tuesday for tens of thousands of people in Minnesota today, but voters hit the polls in small numbers. Empty election Do they know? Even the race to replace assassinated DFL leader and Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman didn't draw a big 9 checked St. Paul, where there's an actual city council election, and in Brooklyn Park at the spot where the Hortmans would've voted, and every polling place was steady and slow. But election officials say that's more or less the expectation for an August election. 'Important' election To vote or not to vote Voters 100 and 101 of the day at the Riverview Early Childhood Center are former neighbors of the woman whose seat they're voting to fill. "We thought it was important to vote to fill Melissa's seat," said Brooklyn Park resident Bob Anderson. He and his wife were fairly lonely at the polls and, just a couple of miles away, a potential voter may have revealed why. "I'm a Melissa Hortman fan and a strong Democrat, so I know who I would vote for regardless of which of the three," Vukmanich said. Slow trickle Typical for August Election officials expect around 10% voter turnout for the primary and maybe twice as much in November. It was just a little busier in the race to elect a new St. Paul city council member for Ward 4. "It's really been steady," said Clara Rainer, a head election judge in Ramsey County. "Almost the whole day we've had at least a couple voters in." The slow trickle of voters is normal for an August election. Brooklyn Park city clerk Damon Montero said they had a 7.3% turnout in their last August primary. But it's a stark contrast from nine months ago when 76% of Minnesota's eligible voters cast ballots in the presidential race. "The last election we were here in November and where we're standing right now there were lines basically out the door," said Raineri. Solve the daily Crossword
