Reports are coming in to The Minuteman of extremely long lines at voting precincts across the State of North Dakota. It looks to be a record-breaking election cycle for the Peace Garden State. I’m told there’s 3-hour wait lines at the DMV in Fargo, a 30-minute wait in Minot, and 40-minutes in Williston. Another report says the line in Grand Forks, at the Alerus Center, is out the doors.
Speculation is that the U.S. Senate race and Measure 3 are the drivers behind the voting madness. This election is too important. If you haven’t voted, make sure you do. If you know friends and family who haven’t, encourage them. Make a phone call. Offer a ride. Don’t be complacent.
T. Arthur Mason is a native North Dakotan who has spent nearly all of his life in the Peace Garden State. As the third of four children in Western North Dakota, Mason grew to appreciate family and the outdoors. Some of his fondest memories are annual deer hunts with family and friends.
In his early teenage years, faith became a central part of T. Arthur Mason's life. He and the majority of his family attend church together on a weekly basis and find this a fulfilling aspect of their lives.
Through the influence of his father, T. Arthur Mason became intrigued with politics. As a boy, he attended political events with his father and enjoyed the friendships that resulted as a byproduct of those political associations. As Mason grew older, he became convinced that the quote often attributed to Thomas Jefferson was true, "That government is best which governs least."
Today, T. Arthur Mason enjoys time with his wife and children, an occasional hunt, and an increasingly active life on the political scene. This blog is the fulfillment of a dream to design a web site in the realm of politics and to advocate for the principles of Liberty and constitutionally limited government.
On behalf of all those that contribute to The Minuteman, we hope you enjoy your time on the site and will share the message with others.
