Why no party affiliation? I know some offices are "non-partisan," but we want our tribe to win! Channel 10 is doing a particularly crappy job of this. You guys at least have more contemporary numbers!

The party cheat sheet on this is any candidate that is winning is either DFL affiliated, nonpartisan or Pete Stauber.

The 8th District should not include Hinckley, North Branch and Wyoming.
