LETTER: Minnesota pols bear some of the blame

I am appalled at the action of District Judge Jim Crockett, who overturned a GOP primary election result because of a paperwork snafu. Assembly candidate Jason Burke made an error in being tardy with his reports. This does not negate the vote of people in the district.

I am a Democrat in another district, but I feel this action affects me directly. This is not how a democracy works. As a voter, I hope the judge reconsiders his decision for the good of our electoral and judicial systems.

Could Mr Joecks explain how many split-second decisions had to be made by the shooters between shots three and four, or five and six, or six and seven, or seven and eight, or eight and nine?
