Kind of strange, these don’t seem like the high profile people that usually attract the nutters. Almost wonder if it was personal but apparently the guy had a whole list so that might be less likely.
Minnesota had a 1 seat democrat majority. Now it's a 1 seat republican majority
Oh shit I hadn’t thought of that aspect.
No worries, I also just found that out while searching who they where... also, happy cake day
They will likely appoint a dem while a runoff occurs, but yes this could theoretically flip that state house.
In the House, and a one seat Democratic majority in the Senate with a Democratic governor.
Also, the area where these Reps are from is pretty blue. The Twin Cities metro, Duluth and Rochester are typically the big three pockets of blue, as that's where most of the states population is.
They may be locally high priority profile, someone the nutters have a more connected beef with
