(Farmington, MN) — Last night’s high voter turnout is prompting Republican Representative Pat Garofalo (GUH-rah-fuh-loh) of Farmington to call for a switch to a presidential primary system in Minnesota. Garofalo says the well-attended caucuses last night in some cases resulted in people standing outside for an hour or more, forced some to walk 3 or 4 blocks to vote and even led to some being turned away, in effect punishing Minnesotans for their high civic level of participation. Garafolo says he’ll introduce a bill to make the switch in the upcoming legislative session. He expects strong bi-partisan support for the measure.
