Thanks for the update, Brian. Love this information. Looking forward to the State House. Would you consider posting or sending me a list of the 58 partisan votes? It is interesting where the difference in the Parties really are versus what people think they are.

Hey. Interesting analysis. Do you have the stats on Senator Dayton? She and Senator Stephenson will be competing for bragging rights.
