[TB]  Ms. Douglas is being dishonest here.  The MN Sec of State has
absolutely nothing to do with the drawing of ward and precinct lines in
the City of Minneapolis.  Ward lines were drawn by a Redistricting
Commission appointed by the Minneapolis Charter Commission (which is
appointed by the Chief Judge of Hennepin County District Court) and
precints are drawn within those wards by the Minneapolis City Council.

The elections in Minneapolis are managed by the City Elections office,
that place in City Hall where you can register to vote of file for city
office should you decide to run next year.

Douglas demonstrates the highly partisan dishonesty that turns many
people away from participating in the political process.  When you talk
about someones record, its best to use real facts, not stuff you make up
to prove your point.
