And the sad thing he still might beat Ellison.
Given the allegations against Ellison, there’s definitely a legitimate argument to be made for voting Republican to keep him out of office. I’d probably just vote write-in/third party b/c Wardlow is horrible too, but I can’t really fault anyone for deciding he’s the lesser of two evils. I mean, how can you vote for Ellison if you believe the allegations against him (and I think this is a case where you could make decent arguments both for believing and being pretty skeptical allegations; I’m honestly undecided on this one, but I recall there being enough ambiguity that I don’t know that I could vote for Ellison in good conscience, although I could obviously be misremembering the details)? This race isn’t nearly as clear cut a choice as it might ordinarily be and Minnesotans have two pretty awful choices.
Voting for Johnson but if forced between the two I would without a doubt back Ellison. In no way is Wardlow the lesser of two evils if you're a progressive.
