The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has canceled its ad buy in Minnesota's Senate race. A public file check at WCCO-TV shows that the DSCC has canceled the last two weeks of ads that were scheduled. That means the DSCC and the NRSC will not be running ads on behalf of Democrat Amy Klobuchar and Republican Mark Kennedy. Apparently, the two national parties think there are closer contests in other states. The New York Times has a story saying Senate Republicans are focusing on just a few races and Minnesota is not mentioned.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
