Describe your local elections this fall

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Nothing interesting. Biggest in the state is probably St. Paul City Council.

I think there's a local referendum on some type of property tax thing though.

I actually totally forgot there was an election today and didn't vote. However I passed through the McElroy dorms today where a precinct usually is, and there was no voting up. Perhaps there was limited precincts for such a low turnout election? Apparently there was some school board seats up too although they're probably unopposed anyway. Oh well.

Looks like the education levy passed overwhelmingly, with 60%. Good, otherwise I would've felt guilty for not voting. On the other hand I would've also felt guilty voting for it as I won't be living here anymore once it goes into effect.

If anyone cares about the St. Paul City Council (largest elections in Minnesota)

Ward 1: Incumbent Debbie Montgomery loses big time, 58-42. Don't know why, maybe should check out StarTrib archives.
Ward 2: Incumbent Dave Thune wins, not a landslide but fairly comfortably. 53-47
Ward 3: Incumbent Pat Harris in a landslide. over 86%. Yawn.
Ward 4: Incumbent Jay Benanav did not run for reelection. Despite this the winner, Russ Stark, took the seat in a landslide, 81-19.
Ward 5: Incumbent Lee Helgen pulls through, 52-48
Ward 6: Incumbent Dan Bostrom pulls off a decent 54-46 win.
Ward 7: Incumbent Kathy Hantry in a landslide, 71-29

Nothing overtly interesting, despite some odd results in places.

Here's something kind of amusing (although certainly not positive)

We also had school board elections. For some reason (I don't know why), there was separate ones, a "special election" and the main one. For the main election, you had 4 votes, and the top 4 vote getters of 6 candidates won. I won't post those results because they're non-partisan and even I don't know about the people running. But the special election was a straight-up two-way non-partisan one. And how did it turn out?
