Minnesota Wins!
Barack Obama:Democrat for President wins
Dems take MN House
Dems take MN Senate
Dems already have the Governership so we now dominate the legislature
Ban against gay marriage written into state constitution - Shot Down!
Voter ID bill - Shot Down!
Only sour point, Michelle Bachman wins reelection, but only by the slimmest of margins.
(Why did Republicans lose so badly here? Republicans swept in two years ago on a platform of economics and jobs, yet spent all their time on social issues (such as banning gay marriage and restricting access for women to receive healthcare, also wanted to block unions, and shut down the government for almost a month)
NATIONALLY:
Maine and Maryland have voted for marriage equality
The first openly gay senator was elected (Tammy Baldwin, in Wisconsin)
The first disabled woman veteran was elected (Tammy Duckworth, in Illinois)
New York sends its first Asian American to the senate
Sens. Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin and Richard “Rape is a gift from God” Mourdock were ousted.
