Will Minnesota’s Democrats vote to make a far-left, bigoted, Jew-hating socialist who has abused multiple women, by their accounts, the Democrats’ nominee for Attorney General? In all probability, yes. That won’t tell us anything about Ellison, but it will tell us a great deal about today’s Democratic Party.

Yesterday, Hinderaker gave us Minnesota’s election results in all the key races.

Keith Ellison overcame the multiple domestic abuse allegations against him to win the DFL nomination for Attorney General easily, 50% to 19% for his nearest competitor, at last count. This is good, I think. (But I should note that Scott disagrees.) The domestic abuse scandals emerged too late to significantly impact DFL votes, given that most DFLers are on board with Ellison’s far-left ideology and frankly don’t care much about abusing women.

But the general election will be a different matter. I doubt whether a candidate as extreme as Ellison, who has had essentially no contact with Minnesotans outside his urban district, can win a statewide race. We will soon know.

…This is most important: Democratic turnout swamped Republican turnout. In the governor’s race on the DFL side, 547,664 votes were cast. In the Republican primary, only 296,213 votes were cast. That is a stunning disparity. Tim Pawlenty, who won two terms as Minnesota’s governor, would have finished fourth on the DFL side. To put it mildly, this does not bode well in an increasingly important swing state.
