To the Editor:
Write-in campaigns and Constitution Party candidates have historically not won in elections. They succeed only in taking votes from other candidates. Basically, Park and Koering are choosing to split the pro-life vote and assist the DFL’s pro-choice candidate.
In an article from left-leaning “Minnesota Progressive Project,” they likened it to special election SD16 in 2008, when a write-in campaign split the Republican-leaning votes just enough to allow the DFL candidate to win in a red district. This could be happening here. They also said, “It’s just speculation whether Stevenson was helped more by Koering’s endorsement or whether Koering’s write-in campaign might help more by splitting Republican-leaning votes.” They seemed thrilled with Koering’s decision to wage the write-in campaign.
