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

Notorious ax murderer who whacked his family released from prison early thanks to law backed by Gov. Tim Walz
An ax murderer jailed for life for hacking his parents and two younger siblings to death when he was a teen has just been released early thanks to a Minnesota law backed by Gov. Tim Walz. David Brom, now 53, was cut loose from a state prison on authorized work release on Tuesday more than a decade earlier than he was initially meant to be freed, Fox9 reported. The convicted killer, who was just 16 at the time of the infamous 1988 murders, was initially supposed to be locked up well into his 70s. Advertisement 3 David Brom, now 53, was cut loose from a state prison in Lino Lakes, Minnesota on authorized work release on Tuesday. Minnesota Department of Corrections But he became eligible for release — earlier than expected — under a Minnesota law passed in 2023 that banned life sentences without parole for juveniles. Gov. Walz, the failed Democratic vice presidential contender, backed the law and approved it after it was passed by the Dem-controlled state House and Senate. Advertisement Lawmakers with the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party said that the law was changed to comply with a Supreme Court ruling that banned sentences of life without parole for juvenile offenders, according to KTTC-TV. Brom served more than 35 years in prison after he was convicted of slashing his parents, Paulette and Bernard, sister Diane and brother Richard, to death in their Rochester home Feb. 18, 1988. All four victims were discovered with multiple ax wounds to their heads and bodies. Brom, who tried to argue he was mentally ill at the time, was ultimately found guilty by a jury. Advertisement 3 The convicted killer, who was just 16 at the time of the 1988 murders, was initially supposed to be locked up well into his 70s. Star Tribune via Getty Images Still, he and other already-convicted offenders became eligible for parole when the amended law was introduced by Minnesota lawmakers as part of a public safety spending bill. Under the changes, the law now allows for juvenile perps who are sentenced to life to be fully eligible for parole after 15 years behind bars. Brom became retroactively up for release in 2018. If the old law was still in place, he wouldn't have been eligible for parole at least 2037. Advertisement Republican state Sen. Jordan Rasmusson had tried to fight to have the law amended so juvenile offenders had to serve at least 25 years — arguing the new terms were too lenient. 3 Brom served more than 35 years in prison after he was convicted of slashing his parents, Paulette and Bernard, sister Diane and brother Richard, to death in their Rochester home Feb. 18, 1988. Star Tribune via Getty Images 'I warned of this exact scenario during the 2023 public safety debate, and it is precisely the kind of outcome I sought to prevent,' Rasmusson told the Valley News in the wake of Brom's release. 'The Democrats' soft-on-crime approach has led to dangerous early releases like this one. The release of David Brom is a profound failure of justice and a painful betrayal to the memory of his victims.' 'Brom committed one of the most horrific crimes in our state's history. Releasing him now undermines the severity of that act and the suffering it caused,' he continued. Under the terms of his release, Brom will still be under supervision and subjected to GPS monitoring at a Twin Cities halfway house. The Post reached out to Gov. Tim Walz's office but didn't hear back immediately.
