that he would respect the results of the November 3 election. I believe that
the only way to be assured a peaceful transition of power is if the results are
completely clear to everyone. I already trust the honesty, safety and accuracy
of our Minnesota election process, but it is vitally important that the vote be
so overwhelming that it cannot be ignored or claimed to be false. So we must
all make a plan to vote. So here is your reminder:
You can vote in person RIGHT NOW at the Minneapolis Elections Office (Mpls
residents only) and at the Hennepin County Elections Office (any Hennepin
County resident). Beginning October 27, you can also vote in person at the
Urban League and Longfellow Park.
If you have an absentee ballot, you can just drop it off RIGHT NOW at the
Victory Ice Arena, the UROC, the Firefighters Museum, the Northrop Auditorium
at the U, the Mpls Convention Center, the Kmart Lot, Longfellow Park, St.
Mary’s Orthodox Church, Bethel Lutheran, Mount Olivet Lutheran, Bossen Field,
as well as the Mpls Vote Center and the Hennepin County Vote Center (also
in-person right now). All locations are for any Minneapolis resident only,
except all Hennepin County residents at the Hennepin County Center.
Beginning October 27, you will also be able to vote in person at the Urban
League and Longfellow Park.
All kinds of information is available at https://vote.minneapolismn.gov/
Please check it over for hours, mask restrictions, proof of residency if you
are not registered or have moved. You can even check to make sure your ballot
has been officially received at
https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/AbsenteeBallotStatus.aspx about ONE DAY AFTER
your vote has been cast.
This one is really important, everyone. In this wonderful state of ours, it is
quite certain that you can be safe from COVID and everything else and be
assured that your vote will count. If you haven’t voted, do so tomorrow. And
don’t forget to ask your friends what their plan is.
