Here is the Sample Ballot for Republicans and other voters who want to vote for Republican Endorsed and Primary Winners.
We’ve used a computer Paint Program to darken in boxes for the Endorsed Candidates in HD 66B, SD 66, CD4, and 2 statewide races of MN Secretary of State, and MN Attorney General. There were 3 Primary Winners who beat the Endorsed candidates and we’ve darkened in the boxes for them too. Those would be for Governor/Lt Governor, US Senator, and MN State Auditor. There is 1 write-in candidate for Governor/Lt Governor that we know of and that would be Brad Kohler/Shauna Breyer
We’ve left open the Judges and MN Supreme Court Justices and Appeals Court Justices as they are running unopposed, those are on the back of the ballot. You can vote for them or write in your own (make up names if you want).
There are 2 Ballot questions. One is a Constitutional Amendment to give more money to the Minnesota Department of Education. The way it is worded it is deceptive. Our MN HD 66B Republican Candidate, Mary O’Neal is a substitute teacher and she voted “No” on it as she says the schools already get too much money and they spend it foolishly and 1/2 of kids can’t read or do math at their grade level now. It’s the curriculum that needs to be changed as well as licensing as well. Here’s a graph of how well the school district has done as a District, and also imagine a rising line of increasing cost to educate kids in the DFL run School District.
We’ve left open the Right to Repair Ballot question in St Paul as it seems it might be a good idea with unintended consequences like the Rent Control passage had. The amount listed on it seems a low amount especially for contracting a tradesperson to fix something in your apartment. Though it might get landlords to respond quicker to maintenance requests. So that is left blank.
We’ve selected 3 St Paul Public School Board Candidates. It is a nonpartisan election in which you can vote for none, 1, 2, or 3. The top 3 vote getters will be seated. It is not Ranked Choice Voting. There is only 1 incumbent, Uriah Ward please don’t vote for him. He is the Chair of the Board and hasn’t told Chauntyll Allen who stormed Cities Church with Don Lemon to resign. He also advocated to remove SROs and keep disruptive students from being suspended or expelled from school, thus making schools unsafe. The 3 DFL endorsed candidates are (Stephanie Anderson, Omar Syed, and Uriah Ward). From Our recent post on St Paul School Board Suggestions, we suggested the following based upon their answers in the LWV Forum:
Tamara Mattison, Michael Schell, and Teresa Glass
Even though the Ramsey County Commission District 3 race is nonpartisan, one of our delegates, Greg Copeland is running as a nonpartisan Candidate. He has been endorsed by us in the past for legislative offices. The LWV Forum pits him against 3 DFL endorsed candidates, 2 uncontested candidates and Garrison McMurtrey who is married to our State Senator Clare Verbeten. That forum link is here.
There is one extra consideration about Greg Copeland’s opponent and that is the possible violation of MNCFB rules about expenditures for a lit piece surrounding 2 ballot questions on the ballot in St Paul’s municipal election in 2025 by St Paul DFL. It was a defunct party unit last year and they couldn’t have paid for a lit piece last year. Here’s a post from Saintpaulrepublicans.us talking about this, “SPRCC Chair Calls for St Paul DFL to be Held Accountable.” What it doesn’t say is that Garrison McMurtrey was the Chair of Record of the St Paul DFL at a time when he was elected in a Special election for Ramsey County Commission District 3 from February 2025.
We darkened in the box for Sheriff Fletcher. We did not for John Choi, he is running uncontested and his office is responsible for a lot of people not being prosecuted properly. Was thinking of writing in Perry Mason (though we need to find a good candidate next time).
We’ve erased the precinct number on this sample ballot.
On your real ballot there should be on the top corner 2 initials of 2 separate Election Judges, otherwise it is an invalid ballot.

Feel free to subscribe to our website, it is free. The only time you’ll see something from us is when we post up an article or an event.
You may take our suggestions, or exercise your free will in voting. If you vote on or before election day please be nice to the Election Judges especially later in the day. They get a lunch and dinner break but it’s a long day for them. Many of our delegates are Election Judges. While you don’t need your ID to vote, if you want to show it you can, it isn’t illegal. If you get undue attention for showing it to the Poll Pad judge feel free to report them as they are not in their training supposed to make voters feel uncomfortable or patronized by election judges. You do have to show your ID at the Same Day Registration Judge Desk if you are registering a new address, or haven’t voted in 4 years. You will have to show ID if you are vouching for someone, it’s not as it is shown in some reports about vouching.
Thanks for voting, and make sure your family, friends and neighbors vote. — admin
