Our U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber, R-Minn., was correct, of course, that President Donald Trump was “within his right” to pursue legal challenges to the election outcome, as the congressman said in the News Tribune last week.
But Stauber was wrong to betray the wishes of tens of thousands of his constituents who voted overwhelmingly for Joe Biden for president, many of whom also voted for him, by refusing to acknowledge the outcome of the election even after Attorney General William Barr, a fellow Republican, verified there was no evidence of fraud that would change the result. Stauber’s refusal to acknowledge reality dragged on even weeks after the ballot count was completed and certified.

The program allows for those who have productions filmed in the county to be reimbursed up to 25% spent locally on expenses, including local labor, food, supplies, and lodging.
County Commissioner Frank Jewell says that he hopes that this will allow for more jobs in sectors such as the hospitality industry, restaurants, hardware, and carpentry.
OTHER VIEWS: We expected better from Rep. Stauber than partisan protest
For the sake of our nation, the election needs to be over. For the good of Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District, Stauber can actively help make that happen and be a positive part of what comes next.
