The following diaries are examples of this week's Election Diary Rescue. This post features a collection of 52 diaries.
(MN-Sen) Major Chaos in MN Independence Party by Dbug - Diarist provides an interesting look at the history of the Independence Party in Minnesota and information on Steve Carlson, the Tea Party candidate who somehow won that party's primary election slot to go against Senator Al Franken (D). Carlson has been disowned by the Independence Party which could even lead to the party losing a position on the ballot in future elections.
(AZ-07) Secrets, coal and a parking lot: business-as-usual, Mary Rose Wilcox in Arizona-07. by RLMiller - Climate champion Ruben Gallego has been endorsed by MoveOn, DailyKos, Climate Hawks Vote, and other progressive and environmental groups in the Democratic primary for a the seat in 7th district in Arizona vacated by the retiring Ed Pastor. His opponent, county supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, has a history of supporting coal funded utilities.
(FL-Primary) Florida Primary Elections Preview by Tyler Yeargain. Tuesday, August 26 is primary day in Florida this year. The diarist has an extensive summary of more than 50 races from around the state. It was a lot of work to put it together. It's especially worth a look if you're a Florida voter. (And don't forget to vote!)
North Carolina GOP finds appalling new level of anti-democratic treachery by Adam B - Not content to just make it harder to vote, the Tea bragger dominated NC legislature decided to pass an unconstitutional law that makes it harder for courts to rule on the constitutionality of unconstitutional laws.
This is the 33rd weekly edition of Election Diary Rescue. It covers rescued down-ticket election diaries published from Sunday, August 17 through Saturday, August 24. We hope you enjoy the following gems dug up by our dedicated team of miners.
VOLUNTEER ALERT! As the election approaches we will be switching back to our traditional daily schedule for producing this blog. We will need a few good Kossacks to join the team.
