Nicole Mitchell joins the show at 3:35p.
Nicole Mitchell was convicted of first degree burglary after she broke into her stepmother's home. She was sentenced to 180 days in jail. Last night she was elected to the Woodbury City Council. Zero chance I would have voted for her.

My show topic idea list today is full of palate cleansers: not sure anyone needs another day of arguing and being mad about political analysis. We'll see how it shakes out 3-6p @wccoradio

What’s your biggest Minnesota election takeaway? Mine: people way underestimated Peggy Flanagan as a candidate twice.

Hour 2 of DriveTime: we're having a burial for topics, talking points, ads, things that we want to retire after this election. Watch/Listen: xitter.gq/i/broadcasts/2vylVZEEz…

What are we burying after this election in Minnesota? For me, RIP: - the old Minnesota State Flag debate - calling the Governor “tampon Tim”

Also: Minnesota Republicans had good candidates and it didn’t seem to matter. They still lost by 10 points plus. Would good candidates in a good national environment even be enough?

Here's my current read (Thanks to help from Muse) on the state of the MN legislature: appears to be a trifecta again.

Thank your election judges. This whole thing works because thousands and thousands of people around the country take the day to help everyone make their voices heard. It's one of the most beautiful features of our democracy, and if you are doing the work today, I am grateful!
