# Electoral reform in Minnesota

Electoral reform in Minnesota refers to efforts to change the voting and election laws.

## Alternate voting systems

In 2006, voters in Minneapolis approved a switch to instant runoff voting by a 65% to 35% margin. The measure calls for IRV to be used in elections for Mayor, City Council, and members of the Park and Recreation Board, Library Board, and Board of Estimate and Taxation. It also rolls the party primary and general election into one election.

## Expansion of the electorate

Minnesota's felony disenfranchisement laws call for voting rights to be restored upon completion of sentence, including prison, parole, and probation. Minnesota allows absentee ballots for citizens who are away from home, ill or disabled, serving as an election judge in another precinct, or unable to go to the polling place due to a religious observance or belief.

## Allocation of electoral votes

Bills were introduced in 2009 in the Minnesota Legislature to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and award Minnesota's 10 electoral votes to the ticket winning the nationwide popular vote. However, the bill died in the House committee.

## Ballot access

Major party candidates are nominated by the state primary process. Independent and minor political party candidates are nominated by a petition process; two-thousand signatures for a statewide election, or five hundred for a state legislative election. Candidates have a two-week period to collect nominating petition signatures. Independent candidates may select a brief political party designation in lieu of independent. Reformers would like to see the ballot access laws loosened.

# Landscape with a Windmill near a Town Moat

Landscape with a Windmill Near a Town Moat (c. 1650s) is an oil on canvas painting by the Dutch landscape painter Jacob van Ruisdael. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is now in a private collection.
This painting was documented by Hofstede de Groot in 1911, who wrote; "174. LANDSCAPE WITH A WIND-MILL. Sm. 135. A town-moat stretches from the distance to the foreground, which it almost fills. In the immediate right foreground is the reedy bank with a wooden bridge. Farther back are brick walls, the remains of a sluice, which are connected by planks. A man with a dog crosses to the left bank which is thickly planted with trees. Near the bank is a boat on the water. In the middle distance is a man in a flat-bottomed boat on the sunlit water. Farther back is a wooden drawbridge over the moat to the town, above whose wall rise house-roofs and a great wooden mill. A fine summer day with clouds in the sky. More or less in the style of Hobbema. The figures are by Ruisdael himself. An attractive picture. Canvas, 25 inches by 30 1/2 inches. Engraved by J. H. Wright in the Stafford Gallery. In the collection of Lord Francis Egerton, London, 1835 (Sm.). In the collection of the Earl of Ellesmere, Bridgewater House, London, 1892 catalogue, No. 197."
This painting was documented in earlier estate sale catalogs of Pieter Locquet and Jan Gildemeester and Hofstede de Groot therefore listed it also as #16, though at the time he didn't know it was the same painting as his #174.

The broad river flows to the right, where three persons bathe near rocks in mid stream. On the farther bank are hills, with a ruined castle half-way up the slope. To the right is a wind-mill; farther back is a village with a church tower. A ray of sunlight, breaking through thick clouds, falls on a field in the left middle distance. The figures, though ascribed in the catalogue to Ph. Wouwerman, are by Ruisdael himself. The picture is strongly influenced by Rembrandt's landscapes, especially in composition.

# Winnigstedt

Winnigstedt is a municipality in the district of Wolfenbüttel, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

## Geography

The village is situated north of the Großes Bruch marshland and west of the Magdeburg Börde, with good soil quality in the surrounding area. In the south, it directly borders on the village of Hessen in Saxony-Anhalt.
The municipal area comprises Winnigstedt proper and the southern quarter of Mattierzoll, which has been a toll station on the road from Wolfenbüttel to Halberstadt (called Hessendamm, present-day Bundesstrasse No. 79) for centuries. It allowed travellers to cross the wetland on a causeway connecting the Brunswick-Lüneburg lands in the north with the territory of the Prince-Bishops of Halberstadt in the south. After World War II, it bordered on the Soviet occupation zone, later the German Democratic Republic, and the road was closed until the Peaceful Revolution in 1989. A preserved watchtower on the road marks the former Inner German border.
Since 1902, Mattierzoll also was a railroad junction, where the Jerxheim–Börßum railway was connected with the line from Braunschweig to Schöningen and the private railway to Heudeber. In the 1950s railway service to East German Heudeber discontinued, nevertheless the border station remained a rail hub between the Braunschweig-Schöningen line and the railway from Helmstedt to Holzminden. All lines have been dismantled until the late 1970s.

## History

Winnincstede in the Duchy of Saxony was first mentioned in an 1182 deed, then a possession of Mariental Abbey. In 1351 the patronage of the parish church passed to the Riddagshausen monastery. The present-day municipality was established in 1939 by merging the two villages of Groß and Klein Winnigstedt.
