2020 Election Special from the White House
Transcription
Background
The last election in 2018 resulted in the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) winning a majority of 75 seats, ending four years of a Republican majority. As there was no Senate election, this resulted in split control of the Legislature with Republicans holding a majority in the Senate they won in 2016.
Electoral system
The 134 members of the House of Representatives were elected from single-member districts via first-past-the-post voting for two-year terms. Contested nominations of recognized major parties (DFL, Grassroots-Legalize Cannabis, Legal Marijuana Now, and Republican) for each district were determined by an open primary election. Minor party candidates were nominated by petition. Write-in candidates must have filed a request with the secretary of state's office for votes for them to be counted. The filing period was from May 19 to June 2, 2020.[1]
