How can an endorsement from such a small group be meaningful?
At the Minneapolis DFL Convention, most candidates had more people than that standing up on stage to visibly support them. Even the candidate with the lowest vote count (dropped on the first ballot) had 33% more votes than the total needed for endorsement here. There were 880+ DFL'ers in attendance at that Convention, and it took over 500 votes to get an endorsement. An endorsement like that shows definite support from a sizable group of active citizens.
What has happened to the Green Party that so few people participate in their endorsing convention?
Tim Bonham, Ward 12, Standish-Ericsson
The 5th District Green Party endorsing convention did not endorse a school
board candidate.

18 votes were needed to get the endorsement. Kari Tauring received 17, Doug Mann 4,
None-Of-The-Above 8.
