[KB] One can also find information about judicial candidates in contested
elections (only 10, from Supreme Court through all District Court races) in
the "Minnesota Lawyer" web site at
http://www.minnlawyer.com/election_2000/election2000.htm .
I found it in the course of looking for the MN State Bar Association's
bylaws because I heard that the MSBA has adopted preference voting -- a form
of proportional representation also used to elect the city council and
school board in Cambridge MA -- for its elections.
