Earlier, Janet Hanson, 59, executive assistant from St. Paul, cast a vote for Tim Pawlenty, whom she met years ago. “His name is the main reason I voted but we also share the same Christian values.”by Stephen Montemayor via twitter 8/15/2018 12:47:03 AM -
Hanson said she decided just today to come vote. Among the issues she followed was immigration. “I’m on both sides of the issue but I want to think that we can ask people to come here, legally, and I support more structure around that.”by Stephen Montemayor via twitter 8/15/2018 12:48:45 AM

Husband Patrick Whinnery, 33, finance, also picked Murphy based on climate and health care stances. AG race was tougher. One of three who told me they switched from Ellison to Pellikan based on accusations.by Stephen Montemayor via twitter 8/15/2018 12:52:23 AM

Deleted last tweet. Patrick Whinnery told me he left AG space blank. Compared Ellison accusations to Franken where he couldn’t support candidate he believes doesn’t live their lives consistent with the politics they espouse.by Stephen Montemayor via twitter 8/15/2018 12:55:59 AM

Jeff Plaman, 47, works in state ed department: voted Walz over Murphy because he believes he has a better shot in statewide race. Was a toss-up because “both the Erin’s are progressive.”by Stephen Montemayor via twitter 8/15/2018 1:02:20 AM

Plaman: “Since I’ve been voting, this is the most important election for Democrats with Republicans having control over both sides of the statehouse.” He went for Tina Smith and Pellikan over Ellison late based on new allegations. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkmjzHOX0AUZkpN.jpg

I've approached a few voters at Nomad who don't want to speak about Ellison for attribution. One man said that the allegations are disturbing but he's suspicious that they were so closely timed to the election. "I have no idea if these allegations are true," he told me.by Maya Rao via twitter 8/15/2018 1:23:50 AM
