Half in outstate doubt 2020 election

From the strib

About half of the state's voters outside Hennepin and Ramsey counties either do not accept or have doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election, according to a new Minnesota Poll.

In much of the state, about half of voters also do not consider the deadly siege of the U.S. Capitol an insurrection, the poll shows.

I was reminded, some 15 years ago on these pages, when some here said that many in outstate only listen to what their pastors tell them. This was when the Arrowhead was still solidly blue, but when another pro choice Catholic candidate - John Kerry.

Now, I suppose many only listen to Fox and to Social Media. Does this mean, then, they many there are not capable of forming their own opinion?

I thought it was pretty stinking of the Strib to phrase it that way.
