I have vague recollection of hearing at one time that a court had ruled that "free speech" means that a candidate can say whatever they want regardless of the truthfulness. I also believe that MN law provides a penalty for claiming endorsements that don't exist. Just another reason not to vote for the mayor if I hadn't already cast an absentee ballot.
