Minnesota has become a blueprint for socialists and radical leftists around our nation due to the insane policies they pushed through narrow legislative majorities. With only a 6 person House majority and 1 person Senate majority, Democrats were able to check off nearly every item of their big government, anti-freedom agenda. Even the so-called “moderate” Democrats fell in line to spend your surplus, raise your taxes, lock you down, mandate experimental shots, put tampons in boy’s bathrooms, mutilate children, and pass any and all unconstitutional Democrat omnibus bills that came their way.

Minnesota’s politics are sometimes overlooked nationally but many have come to notice the lengths that Democrats are willing to go through to see their agenda passed through. Tim Walz’ nomination as Kamala Harris’ VP allowed the nation to learn what we have been stuck living with. Because Walz is the Chair of the Democrat Governors Association and Peggy Flanagan is Chair of the Democrat Lt. Governors Association, we could look to the Executive and the Legislature for blame but there is another individual who has led Minnesota into our destruction like no one else.

Ken Martin is the current Chair of the Minnesota Democrat Party and has held that role since 2010 and has held the role for the last 14 years. Ken Martin is the Chair of the Association of State Democratic Chairs (ASDC) and he has led and created the machine that has held total control over Minnesota for years. As a three term Chair of the ASDC, Martin provides the electoral and legislative blueprints to apply in other states. During Martin’s reign as Chair, Democrats have not lost a single statewide election in MN.

Today (11/19/24) Ken Martin has announced that he will be running for Chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Incumbent Jaime Harrison is not seeking reelection. See his video announcing this here.

It is important to be aware of who your competitors are, what they are capable of, and how to defeat them. Ken Martin is no slouch, he has continually been reelected to his post because he has handed power to the far left again and again. He has proven that he has a massive ability to fundraise (compare the MN Dems to MNGOP) and has kept party infighting to a minimum. Martin was also a KEY player to install Walz as VP. Martin is well-connected with other DNC delegates across the nation and was instrumental in getting party insiders to back Walz over another candidate like Josh Shapiro. We reported on Martin and other MN Dems looking to install Walz as VP two days before Biden had even dropped out!

While most conservatives view Ken Martin as an enemy of freedom who has destroyed our state, current MNGOP Chair RINO David Hann told the Duluth News Tribune “In my party, sometimes I get criticized for consorting with the enemy. And they say ‘enemy’. I say, ‘Wait a minute. I never refer to Ken Martin or the (Democrats) as our enemy. They’re not our enemy. They’re our political opponents.” He goes on to say that Republicans need to find common ground with Dems, however Hann has much more in common with the Democrat’s agenda than grassroots conservatives do.

RINO David Hann appears on podcasts with Ken Martin and is even a co-sponsor with Martin for a campaign for “civility” so Republicans can be polite while the Dems screw us over. Ken Martin could not ask for opposition to be any weaker, softer, or willing to cave than David Hann. 

In the meantime, the MNGOP State Central Committee will determine leadership for three positions: Chair, Deputy Chair, and Secretary. Below you will see the candidates listed as of this article’s publishing:

The DNC Chair position, or even simply running for it, is a MASSIVE launchpad that Martin will use to benefit corrupt politicians like Tim Walz and Antifa Keith Ellison. Interestingly, Ellison is no stranger to the DNC as he was once a candidate for the same office that Martin is now seeking. In 2017 after Trump took the White House, then DNC Chair Donna Brazille did not seek reelection and a host of candidates emerged for the post including then Congressman Antifa Keith Ellison, Obama Sec. of Labor Tom Perez, Jehmu Greene, and a few people who were largely unknown to people: Pete Buttigieg and Jaime Harrison. 

Perez ultimately won and named Ellison as Deputy Chair. Once Buttigieg and Harrison got connected with DNC Elites and proved themselves to be loyal puppets they were rewarded. Buttigieg got national attention and was treated like a legitimate Presidential candidate in 2020 despite being only a small city Mayor (then Sec. of Transportation) and Harrison was flooded with cash against Lindsey Graham (most expensive Senate race in history at the time) and went on to become the successor to Perez as DNC Chair. CNN held a debate with the DNC Chair candidates in 2017 which can be viewed in full below:

The only other candidate to announce so far is former Maryland Governor and current Commissioner of Social Security, Martin O’Malley. O’Malley was a failed 2016 Presidential candidate who failed to gain any momentum against Hillary and Bernie in the primary. He was also the Mayor of Baltimore from 1999 to 2007 and has proven to be another uninspiring empty suit. O'Malley announced his run yesterday (Monday, 11/18/24). Rumored names for DNC Chair include former Chicago Mayor and Obama puppet Rahm Emanuel (who has expressed interest) and Wisconsin Democrat Party Chair Ben Wikler. Perhaps they will point out how Martin lost ground in the 2024 Presidential race despite Tim Walz being on the ballot in his own state. Socialist AOC has already attacked Rahm Emanuel as a disease who only listens to the donor class and the American Prospect is exposing stock trades he made while Ambassador to Japan under Biden. We may see a heated battle going forward!

Action 4 Liberty will follow this race and the details surrounding. Unlike David Hann, we recognize threats and enemies as they are. If Ken Martin is elected DNC Chair we are going to see the Democrats continue to go further and further left. Minnesota is the blueprint for other radical Democrats and it is all thanks to Democrat Chair Ken Martin.

Election fraud is top of mind for many voters because if you cannot trust that your vote is being counted, We The People no longer have control over our government. Minnesota has become a hotbed for election issues for a variety of reasons including our state’s top election official, SOS Steve Simon, who has advocated and implemented a number of policies that make elections less safe, secure, and trustworthy.

We now see issues mounting in House District 54A which is currently represented by radical leftist Brad Tabke. This critical race could flip the State House into GOP control with the current margins as 67-67. Current results state that Tabke is up by 14 votes against GOP opponent Aaron Paul. We previously reported on this race and 14B between DWI Democrat incumbent Dan Wolgamott and GOP challenger Sue Eck (191 vote margin) which can be read here. A massive issue now puts the entire election into question in District 54A because 21 ballots have apparently gone missing!

Due to the 14 vote lead Tabke has on Paul, 21 missing votes is a MASSIVE issue! The fact is that two precincts have missing absentee ballots in District 54A: Shakopee Precinct 10 and Shakopee Precinct 12A. Precinct 10 has 20 of the 21 ballots that are missing and Precinct 12A had the other missing ballot. See disaffected precincts below:

According to the SOS election result reporting, Tabke leads Paul in both disaffected precincts. Scott County says the rescan of ballots that they conducted on November 8th did not uncover these missing 21 ballots and are working with the city of Shakopee to discover the issue. The explanation Scott County elections administrator Julie Hanson told Alpha News was that the county “has not determined if the ballots cannot be located or if the record was added and the person did not vote”. She then suggested that a voter might have changed their mind or left without voting. She also told Fox 9 that Precinct 10 had 329 people check in to vote absentee but they only got 309 ballots. 

Aside from outright fraud, another couple of possibilities could be a voter who filled out an absentee ballot but left the 54A race blank or a voter who turned in an absentee ballot but then told the county that they did not want it counted before it was processed. However, it would be odd for this misreporting or missing ballots to occur mostly in a single precinct! Because Scott County is floating the possibility of ballots being missing, it gives the argument more legs because if they could rule it out immediately based on tech or reporting information, they certainly would.

The good news is that it is not too late because a PUBLIC hand recount will be taking place this Thursday (November 21st) at 8:30 AM in rooms 166 and 167 of the Scott County Government Center. In addition, Scott County will be conducting a PUBLIC had recount of four randomly selected precincts in the same location at 9AM tomorrow, Tuesday (November 19th). See the official Scott County press release on this information below:

It does not appear that Scott County will release the names of the disaffected voters associated with the absentee ballot records, if they are even known. Perhaps someone (MNGOP/HRCC) could use the absentee ballot request data list from the SOS office and contact the individuals who voted via absentee in these two precincts. With that information, they could get signed affidavits from the listed individuals stating that they turned in a ballot and/or voted for the Republican nominee. They cannot give in until this election issue is cleared up.

If the House Republicans wanted to play hardball from the JUMP, they could use their leverage as an equal majority chamber to fight the certification of House District 54A’s election results. While the certification of election results from the State Canvassing Board has typically been a mundane, routine, noncontroversial, boot-licking ceremony, it may not be that way if House GOP Leader Lisa Demuth and newly elected Vice Chair Harry Niska take this battle on. With many unanswered questions and electoral skepticism, it would be for the best if 54A held a new special election so voters can ensure that their votes were counted. There is legitimate reason to question whether Brad Tabke should be duly-recognized as 54A Representative if the public recount does not deliver the answers Scott County voters are looking for.

Action 4 Liberty encourages all Patriots to be engaged in local elections and participate in County canvassing meetings where election results are certified. Your presence makes an impact and prevents wrong-doing. The battle for election integrity is an issue that requires constant effort and attention. Clean elections are required to save Minnesota and the 54A race is a key example of why that is!

President Trump’s historic White House victory paired with GOP majorities in the U.S. Senate and House show a clear mandate from the American people for the America First, MAGA agenda. Trump faced media opposition more than any politician in history yet won more votes than he did in 2016 or 2020 this time around. Voters have rejected the neocon, business as usual establishment starting with Trump’s landslide primary victory, a debate that eliminated Joe Biden from the race, and then he defeated the Democrat propaganda machine yet again with their new puppet Kamala! Now, President Trump has announced a flurry of Cabinet appointments, some of which gives liberty minded Patriots a lot to be excited about! 

With these victories in mind, it is clear that the base that got Trump over the finish line was grassroots powered. Establishment candidates who are forced down the throats of voters have proven to be massive failures. This strategy and thinking appears to have permeated into the top ranks of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). The Executive Director of the NRSC, Jason Thielman, joined former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and discussed the importance of candidates being grassroots, in part saying that $600M had been lost over the last 18 years trying to flip Ohio and Montana until they successfully did it this year. He argued that a candidate cannot just be dropped in and then endorsed by Trump and the NRSC and be expected to win, the grassroots has to support the candidate. See below:

If only Globalist RINO Tom Emmer was aware of this critical knowledge! Emmer forced carpetbagger Joe Teirab onto CD2 voters despite many obvious signs he would lose; The first being his lack of connection with the grassroots. Emmer hand-picked Teirab and set up a coordinating fundraising PAC (Emmer Majority Pac). Teirab spent over $2.3M throughout the race (not to mention outside groups). Teirab lost the CD2 endorsing convention in a landslide to Tayler Rahm. Despite Teirab pledging that he would abide by the endorsement, he backtracked and continued on to the primary. Emmer then weaponized the Trump campaign to get Tayler Rahm to QUIT the race and take a phony campaign position for the MN Trump campaign (run by Emmer). Despite being the Republican nominee, CD2 MNGOP refused to endorse Teirab all the way through. Teirab went on to lose to incumbent Democrat Angie Craig by a massive margin. Teirab and company also got a third party “Constitutional Conservative” candidate to drop out even though his name remained on the ballot (their combined totals was still less than Angie Craig’s total).

The NRSC appears to be taking a step in the right direction and allowing the grassroots to steer the future of the GOP. Bad faith actors like Tom Emmer installing puppet candidates like Joe Teirab after clear rejection from the grassroots is a sure-fire way to lose against an entrenched incumbent. If you want to defeat establishment, fake moderate Dems like Angie Craig, you must have a candidate of, by, and for the grassroots! It is the grassroots who decides which candidates win or lose. The populace has spoken and if the GOP does not recognize what voters truly want then they will continue to lose.

The NRSC Chair from the U.S. Senate has changed hands after Sen. Tim Scott (SC) won it unanimously. Previous leader Sen. Steve Daines (MT) did not seek reelection to the post. Daines took the position after Sen. Rick Scott (FL) dropped the ball for the GOP in 2022. Daines previously criticized MNGOP Senate nominee Royce White despite Royce clearly being the grassroots choice and outperforming all previous opponents to Klobuchar. Daines and the NRSC supported unendorsed He/Him RINO Joe Fraser in the primary. In response, Royce White called Daines a RINO, Neocon, and “Mitch McConnell’s b*tch”. On the House side, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) saw no change in leadership with Rep. Richard Hudson (NC) winning a second term as Chair. Hudson included Teirab in a NRCC “Young Gun candidate” list and helped support his failed candidacy. The first name on the “Young Gun” list, Nancy Dahlstrom, is a 67 year old candidate from Alaska who also lost.

To localize the issue even more we need not look any further than the House Republican Campaign Committee (HRCC) which spent tens of thousands of dollars on behalf of unendorsed incumbent RINOs in deep red districts like Ron Kresha (10A), Greg Davids (26B), and Brian Johnson (28A). The grassroots was narrowly defeated in two of these races but RINO Brian Johnson was retired by his constituents and replaced with a more conservative candidate, Jimmy Gordon. If the HRCC continues to operate as an anti-grassroots, incumbency protection racket then their connection to the base will completely diminish.

The MNGOP and HRCC must heed the advice of the NSRC and embrace the grassroots rather than work against them. If Republicans seriously want to take control of Minnesota they would have to actually fight for the America First agenda that people are craving! These wishy-washy, big government RINOs are the blockade between the party and the grassroots. If you want the grassroots to vote for you, you have to actually represent their interests!

Minnesota is currently facing a 67-67 divide within the State House after Republicans overperformed expectations due to Trump energizing Patriots to turn out vote Republican up and down the ticket. The GOP’s House campaign wing, the HRCC, used divisive tactics and supported unendorsed incumbent RINOs to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars in deep red district primaries which continued to burn the bridge between the grassroots and the establishment. Local Republicans won despite of, not because of, the HRCC. The out of touch mailers they sent were enough to annoy voters and even turn them against the GOP candidates in some cases. 

In that spirit, the MNGOP and HRCC are failing to fight for two GOP House candidates that would give complete, instead of shared, control over the State House to make it 68-66 or even 69-65! Odd things took place on the MN SOS election results webpage on election night such as the addition/subtraction of votes or even results flipping between competitors! The SOS office explained these problems over the phone as [...]. More on this will be explained in passages below. One issue that is apparent in Minnesota elections is that counties and their election divisions abdicated reporting responsibilities onto the SOS. The lack of local control is worrying and gives too much power in one central group. It also appears the SOS office has yet to comment on the multiple election issues surrounding their office.

Concerns of election integrity on other fronts aside from vote reporting issues is also a top concern. Election integrity advocate and 2022 Republican Secretary of State candidate Erik Van Mechelen reported that an absentee ballot board member in Benton County was not allowed to do the appropriate amount of signature verification work yet the county certified the results anyway. He also reported a change in results for a school board election (ISD 728) which took place in Sherburne County and raised concerns with the newly added ballots to the results. Both Benton and Sherburne counties have portions that are represented in the legislature within House District 14B. Another major issue within that district will be discussed below.

 Here is what we know about the state of two swing district races headed to recounts:

14B: Dan Wolgamott (D) & Sue Eck (R) 

On election night it appeared that Sue Eck had flipped House District 14B in her bid to take out DWI Dan Wolgamott. As seen below, the SOS website reported that 100% of precincts had reported (meaning all votes counted) and Sue Eck won the contest. See below:

It was later reported that Wolgamott actually won the race by 28 votes. See below:

Following these results, Sherburne County stated that they had absentee ballots that were not reported on the SOS website. Sherburne County Administrator election officials say the omitted absentee ballots stemmed from a single ballot scanner that did not fully transfer its data to the state’s election reporting system. After these votes were added, Wolgomatt now leads Sue Eck by 191 votes. See below:

Another massive election integrity issue within Sherburne County we can look at is the newly created city ‘Baldwin’. Due to Baldwin’s recent creation, the residents had to elect a Mayor and four city councilmen this election cycle. Van Mechelen reported that election results changed in the city council race with the addition of unexplained votes causing the election outcome to change. Interestingly, you cannot find Baldwin results on the SOS election results webpage and only on the Sherburne County website.

Sherburne County will pay for the costs of a recount election and they will have an election canvassing board meeting today (11/12/24) at 1PM at the Sherburne County Government Center. Election integrity advocates have told A4L that they will be in attendance. RINO Chair David Hann has called on SOS Steve Simon to investigate. We have also been told that MNGOP Deputy Chair Donna Bergstrom will be at the Sherburne canvassing meeting. She and Hann must know that their jobs are on the line in December…

54A: Brad Tabke (D) & Aaron Paul (R) 

Like House District 14B, HD54A was a critical swing district with an incumbent Democrat legislator. Also like HD14B was that Republican challenger Aaron Paul was leading the race on the SOS election results webpage with 100% of precincts reporting. See below:

As seen above, Paul had a narrow lead that vanished as the night went on. See the new results that have given the lead to Tabke below:

More media attention has centered around 14B rather than 54A despite this race being even more razor thin. The Scott County Canvassing Board will have their meeting on certifying election results tomorrow (Wednesday, 11/13/24) at 3:30PM in Room GW 170 at the Scott County Government Center (200 4th Ave. W, Shakopee, MN 55379). The recount will be paid for by the state and unfortunately, counting the same ballots does not change much. The bigger question is how those ballots got there in the first place. The county did do a re-scan of the ballots but the hand recount is forthcoming.

Tabke is an unpopular politician who has gone along with every single radical proposal by the Democrats and even co-sponsoring the bills in some cases like his bill that mandates insurance companies cover genital mutilation surgeries, hormone blockers, and other drugs to destroy children’s bodies natural growth, evolution, and mental health. While normal people are opposed to child abuse, Tabke wants to mandate it.

Conclusion

We will learn more once the canvassing boards in the relevant counties meet and determine what, if any, action will be taken to ensure election integrity within our state. Voters have become more and more skeptical of the legitimacy of elections. Instead of fighting to regain our trust, election officials have given people more reason to question the results. Sloppy work is not corruption but sloppy corruption is. A4L encourages local Patriots to be a part of the county ballot canvassing processes and to call out fraud when it is encountered. If you want clean and honest elections, you have to fight for them!

NOTE - The Anoka County Election Canvassing Board will be meeting tomorrow (11/13/24) at 2PM at the Anoka County Government Center & Courthouse room 705 (2100 3rd Ave. N, Anoka, MN, 55303) and Patriots will be attending to support adding additional precincts to help localize politics.

The MNGOP’s leadership ranks has been filled with anti-MAGA, Never-Trumpers for years despite the grassroots Republican base being firmly in line with President Trump’s vision. President Trump’s White House victory has cemented the MAGA agenda into the Republican Party’s branding and doings. While MNGOP Chair RINO David Hann has awkwardly and desperately tried to blend in with MAGA, conservatives are good at sniffing out a phony. Hann has only pretended to embrace Trump because he HAS TO in order to retain power otherwise he would be completely exposed.

Minnesota’s RNC Committeeman, AK Kamara, was elected by the MNGOP State Central Committee in May this year to the RNC post and beat incumbent Alex Plechash after Plechash backstabbed Otter Tail County delegates. AK Kamara posted a video on X yesterday declaring that now is a “time for reckoning” for Never-Trumpers. The post and video can be seen here.

While highlighting that Trump has the broadest appeal of voters as a Republican since President Abraham Lincoln, Kamara states “If you still think you can be a Republican that doesn’t support Trump [...] then you aren’t a Republican. Just admit it, you are either an Independent or a Democrat.” This common sense may upset some RINOs who hate Trump’s guts or fight his agenda in secret! It is not debatable that Trump is the standard bearer of the Republican Party but big government, weak-kneed, bipartisanship worshiping, Globalist neocons occupy much of the GOP apparatus. If AK wants to root these RINOs out he will have to look at the other MNGOP “leaders” around him.

Chair David Hann has been a longtime opponent of President Trump and was publicly snubbing him as recently as 2022. He did not want Trump to visit in 2022 even though Trump could have energized the base to get out and vote. Hann was the co-chair for RINO Carly Fiorina’s 2016 primary campaign and ran for MNGOP Chair in 2017. He called Trump rude, obnoxious, abusive, and other awful things (which has been weaponized by the MN Dems). Even after Trump secured victory and began implementing the America First agenda, Hann told leftist propagandists MPR in 2017 the following: “We are not the party of Trump. We are not the Trumpian party. We are the Republican Party," Hann said. "He is our president. He is carrying the flag in that office.” Hann has continued to say that the MNGOP is not the party of Trump up to as recent as 2021. In 2021, Hann also said he was “not a Trump guy” to the disgraced, phony Republican Michael Brodkorb. Hann has led the party in a way that has disenfranchised the grassroots and refuses to abide by their will. Hann was even recently called out by 2024 MNGOP Senate nominee Royce White, see our reporting on that here. Hann and the MNGOP were completely silent on the witch-hunts against President Trump and no action was taken until the author of this article proposed and helped pass a resolution at a State Central meeting declaring the MNGOP's opposition to the politically motivated indictments. Hann never once mentioned this resolution publicly and refused to say whether he supported it or not in private conversation with the author.

As mentioned previously, Michael Brodkorb is a perfect example of a phony who uses the Republican label like a con-man when he is truly in bed with the Democrats. Brodkorb’s lack of conservative, moral principles were on public display with his DWI (which he plead guilty to) and his extramarital affair with Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch while he was a Senate staffer. With a tarnished record, Brodkorb saw his only redemption path through the Democrats by becoming their mouthpiece. Despite being an obvious left-wing attack dog and not a real journalist, RINOs like David Hann continue to feed him intel, appear on his shows, and give him credibility since he has none with regular people. Hann even is a co-sponsor with Democrat Chair Ken Martin of a campaign for “civility” so Republicans can be polite while the Dems screw us over. Tactically, Hann is constantly ceding to the Left’s terms and is never gaining ground for conservatives.

RNC Committeeman AK Kamara states in the video that he was a Never-Trumper in 2016 and explains how there is room for grace and understanding for people to figure things out. After Trump’s 2016 victory all good faith, conservative, Never-Trumpers (like Vice President-elect J.D. Vance) jumped on board the Trump Train after seeing that the media lied about who he really is. As mentioned above, the same cannot be said about RINO David Hann. Even party officer Rep. Walter Hudson (30A) wrote a piece in 2016 calling Trump a fascist, however, Hudson has since changed his tune. In 2023, only Senator Wesenberg (SD10) and Rep. Ben Davis (6A) endorsed Trump meaningfully; Emmer and the RINO Congress crew endorsed Trump all on the same day after Trump crushed Haley in her own home state and it became clear that they had to grift behind MAGA to survive. All other state legislators either supported “bird brain” Nikki Haley (Kristin Robbins HD37A and Sen. Julia Coleman SD48), Ron DeSantis (Walter Hudson HD30A and Elliott Engen HD36A), or were completely silent and kept their constituents in the dark (likely a Nikki Haley voter).

The MNGOP will be electing a new Chair, Deputy Chair, and Secretary at it’s upcoming State Central meeting on December 14th. David Hann has not made it clear that he will run for re-election. The “time for reckoning” as said by AK Kamara may come through if delegates are savvy to the leaders they select. Republican delegates may finally decide that it is time for a MAGA Chair for the MAGA Party.

Minnesota elections are somewhat predictable because the Democrats have a machine in place, in that they have an enormous monetary advantage from the jump. Democrats also had an institutional, incumbency advantage, not to mention the shady election laws they’ve installed. This in mind, the U.S. Senate race between Royce White and Amy Klobuchar is emblematic of the new wave of Republicanism.

Royce White ran a hardcore, anti-establishment, truth-telling campaign based on three main issues: Border, Debt, Forever Wars. Royce defeated He/Him Joe Fraser in the GOP primary by a massive 11 margin.

Klobuchar became exposed nationally as an out of touch hack during her failed Presidential run but has longtime been thought of as a moderate by most Minnesotans. The flannel wearing, hot-dish cooking, “Minnesota nice” persona of Klobuchar is what Royce White calls the “most dangerous political prototype in America”. Like Kamala, Klobuchar was a crooked prosecutor that put her own ambitions ahead of justice. Amy was elected by big margins in 2006, 2012, and 2018 to the Senate but had her worst performance EVER this year against Royce White!

Royce White won a higher percentage of votes, number of votes, and number of counties of ANY Republican U.S. Senate nominee against Klobuchar in her four races! No Republican had ever won over 40% or won over a million votes against Amy until Royce White. Klobuchar also received her lowest percentage of votes to date! 

Royce outperformed Amy’s 2006, 2012, and 2018 opponents which included two State Representatives and a U.S. Congressman, proving that there is a strong amount of voters who want to support an outsider. While Kurt Bills in 2012 was a Ron Paul, liberty candidate he was up against the unfortunate Obama era of MN politics. However, this year Royce won 66 of Minnesota’s 87 counties! Comparatively, RINO predecessors got nowhere CLOSE to how Royce performed. See maps below:

2006 Senate Results

2012 County Results

2018 County Results

2024 County Results

As seen above, Royce flipped Greater Minnesota and won thirty more counties than RINO Jim Newberger in 2018 and 59 more than RINO Mark Kennedy in 2006! Royce has shown that standard political strategy is out the window, people are fed up and want a fighter in office! Royce never hid from controversy, he fought it head-on!

Royce White has also recently announced his intentions to run against forgettable U.S. Senator Tina Smith in 2026! He discussed this and much more on conservative show The Truth Hurts. The vast majority of Minnesotans have zero clue who Tina Smith is despite her being a reliable vote for every deep state, big government, anti-freedom policy imaginable. Royce White has developed name recognition statewide and will pose a much more credible threat to Smith in 2026 (who has also announced intentions to run for reelection). A recent skit Smith took part in with "Abortion Access Front" is just one example that proves how unserious of a Senator she is.

Prior to the election, Royce took to social media to slam RINO MNGOP Chair David Hann for a fundraising mailer that gave ZERO mention to Royce or the Senate race. Royce White called out this mailer on X in a hardcore, truth-telling, fire-breathing statement that pulled no punches! See that post here. Royce says that David Hann “smiles in my face” and then pulls this BS and calls Hann & the party leaders neocons that decided “to go to war with the grassroots”! More detailed reporting on this can be read here.

The MNGOP State Central Committee will be meeting on December 14th and electing a Chair, Deputy Chair, and Secretary of the party. While the establishment RINOs in the party will try to take credit for the current 67-67 State House, the real people who deserve credit are the voters who turned out the vote and the local candidates! In some cases like House District 7B, Action 4 Liberty laid the groundwork by ruthlessly targeting swing district Dems like David Lislegard who protected Walz’ abuse of Emergency Powers. If David Hann has enough guts to run again for MNGOP after failing conservatives yet another election cycle he may face trouble. With President Trump’s landslide victory there is no doubt that Trump is the GOP’s standard bearer. Hann may find it very difficult to win considering he said the GOP was “not the party of Trump” in 2021, said he was “not a Trump guy” in 2021, and did not want Trump to visit MN in 2022! This is recent stuff, people can sniff out a fraud!

The MNGOP desperately needs to move in a new direction to be in touch with the grassroots considering the outcomes of Trump’s victory and Royce’s over-performance among RINO predecessors. It is clear that weak-kneed, big government, neocon, anti-freedom, phony conservatism never produces winners. If Republicans ever want to be legitimate in MN, they need a MAGA Chair for the MAGA Party.

Double-speaking phony moderate Dave Lislegard (7B) remained in the State House as one of the last “Iron Range Democrats” for the last three terms. In May of 2024, Lislegard saw the writing on the wall and dropped his reelection bid, knowing full well that he could not win another term. Lislegard was lined up against a competitive Republican challenger named Cal Warwas.

Warwas ultimately won last night’s election for House District 7B with a nearly thirteen point margin of victory! See below:

Lislegard was the last remaining of six targets of Action 4 Liberty’s who deceived voters with votes about Walz’ Emergency Powers. Liselegard was one of six Democrats who voted to remove the unconstitutional Emergency Powers in 2020 then flipped and supported them AFTER the election! He conned his voters in January of 2021, proving that his loyalty was with party bosses instead of his constituents. Lislegard was only voting to end them because of the pressure that we put on him!

Action 4 Liberty launched a long door knocking campaign in Lislegard’s district to EXPOSE his betrayal. We reached tens of thousands of voters and informed them about the TRUTH, whether that be by door knocking, phone calls, social media, or radio ads. A4L can largely be credited for laying the groundwork to take Lislegard out. We knew we were on the right path when Lislegard had a meltdown about A4L during a House committee hearing!

Cal Warwas is a 28 year union steelworker and campaigned on the following issues: Pro-mining, Pro-jobs, Lower taxes, Pro-energy, Pro-life, Pro-gun Rights, Pro-public safety, pro-Education, and pro-parental Rights. Warwas was contacted by the article’s author via email in January 2024 asking if he would support the Never Again bill; No answer was ever provided to that question. Considering that we built massive support for this bill/the largest pro-medical freedom list in his district, Warwas would be foolish to oppose the Never Again Bill. It is clear that his constituents want to see it pushed, will he step up to the plate?

This seat flipping by such a massive margin shows that Minnesotans are fed up with the radical Democrat agenda. We have fought back against the corrupt politicians who care more about their own ambition than the freedoms of their constituents. Warwas will be watched with a close eye in the Legislature by many around our state. Action 4 Liberty will continue to provide We The People with reporting that you cannot find anywhere else.

With the election now done and over with, it is time to put the pieces together and analyze what went so wrong for the MNGOP in Minnesota. We have now just witnessed another win for Democrats as they will retain power in the state legislature for another two years. Failed leadership by Republicans has taken our state to this point. It is clear that RINO Chair David Hann and other MNGOP “leaders” have failed by every metric possible.

The State House appears to be a COMPLETE deadlock with 67 Republicans and 67 Democrats who have either won or are leading their district. At least two races appear that they will go to recount races due to the close margins. This will cause MASSIVE issues around leadership positions and passing legislation in MN. This will be a critical opportunity to block the radical woke agenda if Republicans grow a spine!

The radical agenda passed by Democrats in the last two years gave an incredible chance for Republicans to target swing districts with key messaging to prove how far left Minnesota has gotten with Dems in charge. The HRCC and MNGOP could have been building a unified machine for endorsed candidates to oppose Democrats but instead they chose a divisive, anti-grassroots path.

The HRCC’s Chair, Josh Heintzeman, and failed GOP House leader Lisa Demuth used the HRCC to support unendorsed incumbent RINOs in deep red districts to the tune of $35K in the GOP primaries! The abuse of the HRCC as an incumbency protection racket is bad enough on its own but this is also a violation of the MNGOP Constitution because the HRCC is a party unit and is obligated to only support endorsed candidates. 

The wasted party resources protecting RINOs should have all been used in swing district general elections rather than deep red primary races. Is the enemy of the HRCC the Democrats or is it grassroots conservatives? The more you learn about them, it becomes clear the answer is the latter.

Another reason the GOP has failed again to capture the state House is due to the monetary advantage held by Democrats. We reported in October that the House Democrats outspent the HRCC in swing districts by a margin of 6 to 1! This is partially due to grassroots conservatives refusing to give their hard-earned money to corrupt crooks like the HRCC. The MNGOP is considered just as, if not more corrupt than the HRCC as David Hann and the Executive Committee have refused to hold the HRCC accountable for violating the party Constitution as a party unit. All trust has been lost between the GOP “leadership” and the grassroots.

Action 4 Liberty targeted swing district Democrat legislators during the fight to end Walz’ unconstitutional powers and we are proud to announce that all of the phony moderates that we brought massive pressure to were either fired by their voters or they didn’t run again because they knew they would lose! Our tactics and style are proven winners but the establishment RINOs fight us because we threaten their power! Action 4 Liberty believes we should live in a Constitutional Republic regardless of the corrupt party and politicians that are offended!

Another consideration to make surrounds the only state Senate seat up for grabs. With the Senate at 33-33, this race could have completely reshaped the Senate and given Republicans a chamber of the Legislature to block radical left ideas and push a liberty agenda (not that they ever would). Instead of committing all resources and energy on the race, GOP Senate “Leader” Mark Johnson dropped the ball and kept Senate GOP money for the future.

In a couple of swing districts, we see the HRCC's failures clear as day. House District 14B featured a matchup between Sue Eck and vodka chugging, DWI Dan Wolgamott. Wolgamott was in deep trouble in this race following his DWI and arrest after he was caught chugging vokda in a liquor store parking lot but the HRCC chose to divert resources away from Eck in order to support unendorsed RINO Ron Kresha in 10A. Dan is leading Eck by a mere 28 votes! In House District 41A, ONLY 13 votes separates radical left Brad Tabke and Republican nominee Aaron Paul. Results can be seen here. If the HRCC focused on these races instead of deep red district primaries, the GOP would have a majority!

If the MNGOP ever wants to have a chance at winning again, new leadership is needed. David Hann has been the Democrat’s favorite chair of the MNGOP because he has run it into the ground and made it seriously uncompetitive. His failures as Chair, Lisa Demuth and Mark Johnson’s failures as legislative leaders, and Josh Heintzeman failures as HRCC Chair are the major actors at fault for the GOP not delivering. We have previously reported on the politicians already campaigning to take over as Minority “Leader”. 

Action 4 Liberty has called upon the MNGOP to revoke the HRCC’s party unit status but it will take much more than that to save this state. David Hann and all other “leaders” responsible for this election’s losses must be removed from office and replaced with a Patriot who will not sell out conservative values!

When voters turn over their ballots, there will be several judicial races to keep an eye out for. Most judicial offices are typically unopposed and when there are multiple candidates it is important for voters to be aware of their options. There is often little research that the grassroots can use to learn about Judges despite how critical these races are. Patriots have seen the courts become politicized and weaponized by crooked Democrats and see how important it is to have a Judiciary that respects the Constitution.

This brings us to Minnesota’s 10th Judicial District Court, Seat #3. Conservative attorney Nathan Hansen is challenging Walz appointed Judge Helen Brosnahan, a seat previously held by CD3 GOP nominee Tad Jude. Hansen is the recommended GOP candidate and has a long history fighting for our Constitutional Rights. This is a red district that encompasses the following counties: Anoka, Chisago, Isanti, Kanabec, Pine, Sherburne, Washington, and Wright. See district map below:

Nathan Hansen has been a fighter for liberty as an attorney. He represented business owner Larvita McFarquhar when she defied Walz’ unconstitutional orders to close her doors during Covid! Action 4 Liberty stood with Patriots like Larvita and demanded our freedom back from tyrannical politicians! Nathan Hansen also delivered a POWERFUL speech to the Mahtomedi School Board in 2021 against mask mandates. See below:

While Nathan Hansen is leading with his Constitutional principles, his opponent Helen Brosnahan has received donations from Democrats and is seeking to appear more moderate that she truly is. No conservative would EVER be appointed to a judicial office by Tyrant Tim Walz as he has stated that he opposes judicial candidates upfront if they are pro-life! Hansen says Democrats have campaigned for Brosnahan by including her on campaign literature supporting a slate of candidates, Broshnahan claims there was no coordination or communication. However whether she knew or not is neither here nor there, the point instead is that Democrats are supporting her for a reason. 

In November of 2022, Brosnahan let a career criminal off the hook from a 17 month sentence on felony theft. Two days later the same person was arrested again on theft charges. More information about this can be seen in this CrimeWatchMPLS post on X.

Hansen is also an election integrity advocate and was the attorney for an important case against SOS Steve Simon regarding the counting of mail in ballots received after election day. The Eighth Circuit Court favored Hansen’s argument and refused to allow Simon to subvert election laws, even with Covid as a justification.

With the election coming up on Tuesday, voters must be aware of what is on the backs of their ballots. Here are two statewide judicial races to take note of:

Chief Justice - MN Supreme Court

Natalie Hudson (incumbent): Hudson was appointed to be Chief Justice by Tim Walz and was originally appointed to the court by Mark Dayton. She has been a consistent vote for left-leaning ideas, including upholding Walz’ unconstitutional abuse of Emergency Powers.

Stephen Emory: Emory has run for Congress in CD7 in 2020 and US Senate in 2022 within the Democratic primary, running as a conservative Democrat. He is a former agriculture consultant and medical representative who was opposed to the tyrannical Covid orders put in place by Walz. Emery states he is a supporter of the 2nd Amendment.

Associate Justice #6 - MN Supreme Court

Karl Procaccini (incumbent): Procaccini was appointed to the Supreme Court by Tim Walz. He previously worked in the Walz Administration as legal counsel for Walz, including during the Covid lockdown era. Procaccini is a radical left, anti-Constitution judge who is partisan to his core.

Matthew Hanson: Hanson is a young lawyer from Prior Lake who is opposed to the unconstitutional lockdowns and Emergency Powers abuse committed by Walz. Hanson previously challenged another Walz appointed judge in Scott County but came a little short of winning. On his X account, you can find Hanson retweeting Elon Musk and supporting free speech. The CD2 GOP Full Committee voted to give Hanson the Republican recommended status for this race.

NOTE - Despite climate cultists demanding this garbage incinerator be removed, Joe Biden would likely prefer that all supporters of President Trump’s campaign be thrown in since we are all “garbage” to him. Meanwhile, President Trump met with blue-collar, common-man garbage men (waste collectors) in Wisconsin!

Minnesota has become a breeding ground for all of the idiotic, careless, anti-common sense, and expensive ideas that are doomed for failure from the start! We have corrupt Democrats who are held captive by the agenda that they helped incite! Hypocritical private jet flying politicians have misguided some well intentioned Americans into believing that human mortality is on the line in the near future based on the small amount of carbon a given individual emits into the atmosphere. This propaganda leaves out the incredible hypocrisies surrounding natural carbon emission, allowing the building of (and bombing of) the Nord Stream pipeline from Russia to Germany, the amount of carbon emission from war (the largest producer of greenhouse gas emission), and the development of oil and coal production China (with owning most materials for solar panels and electric vehicles in the world and producing the most by far) to mention a few. 

The climate cult is alive and well in Minnesota thanks to failed politicians like Tim Walz. Walz signed a bill mandating that Minnesota be “carbon-neutral” by 2040 which is more authoritarian that Walz’ favorite country, Communist China, which mandates this by 2060. Globalists and other tyrants who favor big government control over their citizenry are the very individuals funding and supporting the “global warming” hoax yet many leftists are falling for it and falling right into their evil plans.

Radical leftists are now demanding that the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC) down the road from the Fillmore Theatre and the Twins Target Stadium be SHUT DOWN! HERC was established in 1989 and the concept of the trash to energy conversion was based on other energy plants in the Capitals of Norway and Sweden that allows clean energy conversion in densely populated areas. HERC provides energy for roughly 25,000 Minneapolis residents and provides heating/cooling to businesses and Target Stadium (and powers heated sidewalks near Target Stadium during winter). HERC also reduces Hennepin waste volume by nearly 90% and recovers nearly 11,000 tons of scrap metal each year. HERC has extreme value due to the fact that Hennepin County has ZERO active landfills. See a graphic below created by Hennepin County on how HERC works:

HERC has a pollution control system built into much of their equipment with controlled high temperature combustion to neutralize or filter out potential carbon emissions which is detailed in this video. In fact, HERC produces less greenhouse gas emissions by burning trash than that same trash would at a landfill because the trash can develop flammable and deadly methane gas due to the time length and unsanitary nature. This all means that trash to energy incinerators reduce costs for energy and is more environmentally clean than other alternatives. With the money that HERC makes from Xcel Energy, HERC contributed 73% of all state funding for natural resource and forestry programs in 2023! Why would environmentalists want to shut down something that gives so much back? See the HERC report (page 36) graphic below:

Aside from removing toxic trash and contributing collected money to environmental efforts, it is never enough for deranged climate cultists who believe the earth will end in five years. 

The coming energy blackouts and government mandated energy reduction may cause irreparable harm to Minnesota. Energy blackouts in the middle of winter will kill. Take further into consideration that the Left has become obsessed with electric vehicles (with some exception to Tesla); The only issue is that EVs require MORE electricity to power these cars which will increase human electrical use! When power outages take place you will not even be able to drive your way out of Minnesota! Xcel Energy will lose a major client and will be forced to get energy with systems that have less return on investment for higher rates, unfortunately, Xcel Energy is a willing participant in the “global warming” hoax as the corporation was a proud supporter of Walz’ 2040 energy mandate because they are likely the only corporation large enough to survive the regulatory Hell coming their way! In addition, Xcel runs the only two nuclear plants allowed in MN (giving them a layered monopoly) which produces 21% of their energy. Xcel is squeezing out competitors and has an unfair advantage in the market thanks to their political donations and lobbying. 

The Hennepin County Commissioners are also to blame for the climate cultists demanding the removal of HERC because they passed a resolution (23-0384 R1) that mandated HERC’s closure between 2028 and 2040. The large time window is some proof that the Commissioners are aware of the massive impact that would take place if HERC was removed. If it were removed, the Globalist takeover of energy in MN would be well on its way to take away the heating and energy for tons of Minnesotans.

Considering that wind and solar cannot meet energy production levels needed, environmentalists can look in a few other directions. Nuclear energy is typically a popular idea among liberty lovers, perhaps due to Patriots unknowingly supporting the monopolistic nuclear white coats. Nuclear energy is considered unsafe by many energy experts and is infamously known for its deadly and disastrous consequences with the Chernobyl Disaster in 1986 and the Fukushima Disaster in 2011. These incidents alone do not give reason to be opposed to nuclear energy however the International Atomic Energy Agency and United Nations Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) recognize the fact that nuclear energy production can lead to nuclear weapon development. 191 nations are signed onto the treaty while four countries with nuclear arms refuse to sign on (Israel, India, North Korea, and Pakistan). Nuclear energy facilities and technologies used in the enrichment and reprocessing of nuclear fuel can also be used to produce fissile material to use for nuclear weapons. Human mismanagement has even led to nuclear waste particles being found in children’s playground equipment. The embrace of utopia beliefs on nuclear energy is dangerous rhetoric that even reached the GOP Presidential primary from candidate Vivek Ramaswamy with his constant calls to shut down the Nuclear Regulatory Committee. As mentioned, Xcel has a monopoly on nuclear energy in Minnesota and that does not appear to be changing anytime soon. There is far too much risk to allow a mega-corporation succumbing to Globalist demands to be the only nuclear power creator in Minnesota. 

Environmentalists would be better off considering clean hydroelectric energy created with dams. Walz signed HF7 (2040 carbon mandate) which refused to recognize hydroelectric energy as “carbon neutral”, proving that liberals are unserious about energy and the environment. All this aside, waste to energy facilities like HERC have been very beneficial across the state as there are ten operating plants currently. Nobody wants their local landfill to reach capacity, trash MUST be dealt with. Why not make energy out of it and use the money for forestry projects? It would seem like the environmentally friendly thing to do!

With all of this said, the question still remains: What do these libtards want to do with garbage? What about the HERC facility? There will be a massive trash problem in Hennepin County where they will have to look to other counties to take massive loads of trash into their landfills… As for the climate cult, one of the leading groups to shut down HERC is called Zero Burn Coalition and they have no specific plans for what to do with the trash other than a laughable recycling center concept and letting the “frontline communities” decide what happens next with the HERC facility. The Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a Resolution on Thursday (10/31/24) that demands Hennepin County shut it down. The City Council and Zero Burn Coalition allege that HERC is racist because it disproportionately affects black people, as if people can’t choose to move. The City Council also had no serious plans for redevelopment or what to do with the trash. The Hennepin County Commissioners only plan seems to be using landfills in other counties as indicated in their Reinvent Hennepin County’s solid waste system Plan. Additionally in that report you will find no actual repurposing idea or concept for the HERC facility. Will they bury it? Throw it in our lakes? Nobody knows!

The climate cultists are leading Minnesota to a point of no return. The childlike, irrational fears of global warming cannot be allowed to control our lives. The Left is not presenting serious solutions to undeniable, forever incurring issues such as trash. The HERC is turning garbage into energy while the Democrats call half of the country trash. It couldn’t be clearer what is up and what is down in this scenario.
