In case you haven’t noticed, we’re pretty excited about the upcoming elections. Heck, I even just changed our logo (only for this week) to reflect how nuts and exciting this cycle is. And now we’re announcing the return of our popular elections site. It’s still missing a couple items, but those should be coming shortly (Zack) and I just couldn’t wait to make it live, so now it is (you can see the new tab right below the logo up top).
Why an election site? Well, primarily for election day. If you come to the site this coming Tuesday anytime after 5PM, you’re going to see the results page of the election site instead of this, usual, frontpage. We’ll be updating the results live as they come in and we have a notification system built in to the results page to allow us to announce news, call races, and fun stuff like that. This provides you, our wonderful readers, with a one-stop scoreboard for all the hottest races this cycle. What’s more, we’ll even be counting-down to a veto proof majority in the Minnesota house (if we get there) as the results of state house races come in.
We’re making the site live today because in addition to the main feature that is the results page, we have pages dedicated to each one of the races with summaries of the race, our takes on it, the latest polling for that race, the newest posts, and all the TV ads for the DFL candidate. It’s a pretty cool little resources and I just wanted to share it with everyone.
Like everything else, the real fun will be on election day, but for now, enjoy.
Ok, we all know who is going to win the presidential race, and we can all argue about the other races. But I suggest we have a contest- bet on the outcome of Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Hennepin, Ramsey, and other counties. Winners will get some serious bragging rights, they will make their picks without the benefit of any polls or reason. This should be fun. I pick Marian Brown in the District 2 race in Dakota County.

Care to tell us what “Obamanation of the US Constitution” means?
I love how the election site has CD6 labeled. Didn’t notice it at first. Very funny!
Sean,
5 days until total ObamanNation of the US Constitution.
This means the racists and bigots are giving up and calling the race.
