No one celebrates the holidays more beautifully than New Mexico. But as a former resident, I'll add that they're called luminarias, and in and around Santa Fe the preferred term is farolitos.

[U.S. Department of the Interior @Interior]

On Dec. 5, more than 1,000 glowing luminaries will light the historic Abó mission ruins at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, in New Mexico.

Experience this magical holiday tradition from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. with free hot chocolate and cookies.

After 8 years of planning and fundraising, Bloomington finally has a veterans memorial. Congratulations to Bloomington Remembers Veterans for completing their vision to honor our veterans in such a unique way. #VeteransDay

[Timothy Blotz @TimBlotzFOX9]

Bloomington Remember Veterans just dedicated their brand new veterans memorial at Harrison Park. This memorial was eight years in the making and features oversized dog tags with the names of veterans and a granite table for Gold Star Families. Simply remarkable dedication to completing this project.

I've asked the same question, Paul. Part of the issue is getting the vote totals into the county seat elections office. Hennepin and a few other counties allow precincts to report results via a secure electronic connection. However, the SOS office tells me most counties including Ramsey require precincts to drive in the results on a memory stick. In some of our big rural counties such as St. Louis, that can take hours.

[Timothy Blotz @TimBlotzFOX9]

Even though we've been waiting for months for this election to end, do not expect instant returns in Minnesota tonight.

Counties cannot report precinct results to the SOS office until ALL ballots have been counted. During the August primary, Hennepin Co didn't report until after 10 p.m. Ramsey Co. was close to midnight. Olmstead and St. Louis Counties reported at 12:30 a.m.

With so many absentee ballots to count it will likely take even more time. I'm expecting a loooooong night.

[Timothy Blotz @TimBlotzFOX9]

This needs amplification. Democracy depends upon ordinary people putting their name on a ballot for the public good.

[Pat Garofalo 🇺🇸 @PatGarofalo]

Whatever the outcome tonight, thank you to everyone who put their name on a ballot this year. Running for office is a personal sacrifice not enough people are willing to make. Win or lose, thank you for your leadership.

[Timothy Blotz @TimBlotzFOX9]

She’s one of us.

[Minnesota Women's Basketball @GopherWBB]
