MINNESOTA PRECINCT CAUCUSES TONIGHT

It's Super Tuesday night in Minnesota when voters in two dozen states have their say in the Presidential candidate selection process. Secretary of State Mark Ritchie expects a strong turnout at Republican, Democrat and Independence Party caucuses. Ritchie expects 100,000 Minnesotans to show up for the meetings. Registration begins at 6:30pm and the formal meeting starts at 7pm. Ritchie said Minnesota is the 8th largest state in the Super Tuesday events and he's been fielding calls from national media reporters to find out how soon we're going to report our straw poll results. Crow Wing County Republicans will caucus at four locations, in the Central Lakes College cafeteria, Nisswa Elementary, Crosby-Ironton High School and the Crosslake Community Center. Democrats will meet at Brainerd High School. Independence Party members will meet at the Sawmill Inn in Brainerd. Green Party members will meet next month. Any citizen who will be 18 by November 4th is eligible to attend and vote in the caucus.
