Topic: Karl Rolvaag


  
  Karl Rolvaag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rolvaag, the state's thirty-first governor, lived in Northfield before fighting in World War II, where he rose to the rank of lieutenant and commanded a tank.
Rolvaag was the first Minnesota governor to serve a four-year term, but continuous wrangling between the DFL governor and the conservative-controlled legislature yielded few results.
Rolvaag stayed out of politics the rest of his life, but he helped others work through their own problems with alcoholism, attending meetings and giving talks in places as nearby as his hometown of Northfield, Minnesota and as far off as Sweden.

 The Seattle Times: Local News: Minnesota had an even closer race in '62
It wasn't until March 1963 that Andersen's opponent, Karl Rolvaag, the state's lieutenant governor, was sworn in as governor — four months after the election that saw Andersen win the initial vote, and Rolvaag the recount.
Andersen, who died in November, was running for a second term as governor against Rolvaag, a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party.
Rolvaag went to court and won the right to a recount, and hundreds of counters fanned out throughout Minnesota's 87 county seats.

 Bench & Bar of Minnesota
In 1962, DFL'er Karl Rolvaag became the last Minnesota governor elected to a two-year term, ousting Republican incumbent Elmer Andersen, by 91 votes, after a four-month long recount that was punctuated by legal proceedings.
The victory for Rolvaag, who served as lieutenant governor in the Andersen administration, was aided by a ruling of the state Supreme Court in In Re Application of Andersen, 264 Minn. 257, 119 N.W.2d 1 (Minn. 1962).
Not only did it give way to four-year terms thereafter, but it was also the last time that governors and lieutenant governors ran on a ticket from their respective parties.

Coll, Karl Rove and others have pointed to an oversampling of female voters, but there is nothing definite at this point except the fact that the exit polls were badly skewed in light of the actual election results.
Karl Rove stated that he questioned the early exit polls almost immediately because they were tremendously skewed by sex and other internal factors.
Of course the left, in their rush to ressurect the stolen election myth, have ignored a vital correlate for the coincidence of small counties and optical scan technology--the Bush campaign had a very active get-out-the-vote organization in what Rove referred to as the exurbs.

 U.S. Senate: Art & History Home > Walter F. Mondale, 42nd Vice President (1977-1981)
As a college student in the 1940s he organized a "Diaper Brigade" of student volunteers to help Hubert Humphrey, Orville Freeman, and Karl Rolvaag take control of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor party, and each of those leaders later fostered his career.
Mondale was twenty-one when he first went to Washington as a protégé of Senator Humphrey; at thirty-two Governor Freeman appointed him state attorney general; and at thirty-six Governor Rolvaag appointed him to fill Humphrey's vacant seat in the United States Senate.
Despite his youth when he entered the Senate, Mondale held values closer to those of the older generation of Democrats—forged by the Great Depression and the New Deal and influenced by the liberalism of Franklin D. Roosevelt—than they were to the new generation of postwar politicians of the era of John F. Kennedy.
