Interesting Minnesota Elections

The 2014 election is upon us and many remember interesting elections from previous years.  The Legislative Reference Library has a few books that recount the stories.

Electing Jesse Ventura: A Third-Party Success Story.  Jacob Lentz reports on the unexpected victory of third-party candidate Jesse Ventura over major-party candidates Norm Coleman and Skip Humphrey in the 1998 race for governor.  (JK6193 1998)

Minnesota Standoff: The Politics of Deadlock.  Rod Searle writes about the process that led to the compromise between the two parties and his selection as House Speaker after the 1978 election resulted in a 67-67 tie in the Minnesota House.  (JK6171 .S43 1990)

Recount.   Ronald F. Stinnett and Charles H. Backstrom tell the story of the 139-day recount that resulted from the 1962 gubernatorial election.  Karl Rolvaag eventually took office in March of the following year with a 91 vote lead over incumbent Governor Elmer Andersen.  (JK6152 1962 .S7)

There is No November.  Dave Hoium and Leon Oistad recount first-hand the surprising turn of events when allegations against Republican-endorsed gubernatorial candidate Jon Grunseth forced him to quit nine days before election day in 1990.  Arne Carlson, who lost the endorsement to Grunseth months earlier, took his place on the ballot and defeated incumbent Governor Rudy Perpich.  (JK6195 .H65 1991)

This is Not Florida: How Al Franken Won the Minnesota Senate Recount.  Jay Weiner tells the story of the recount that followed the 2008 election.  Eventually Al Franken was sworn in as the junior Senator from Minnesota in July 2009 with a 312 vote lead over Norm Coleman.  (JK1968 2008 .W45 2010)

No one has written a book about the turn of events surrounding the 2002 U.S. Senate election following Senator Paul Wellstone’s death on October 25, 2002.   Walter Mondale’s autobiography, The Good Fight: A Life in Liberal Politics (E840.8.M66 A3 2010) has a section on it and the Library has compiled documents related to the election.

Contact a librarian at 651-296-8338, or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn, to request these books.
