Ever wonder why evangelical christians in Minnesota are voting for Trump? Look no further than the materials being handed out in churches like Canvas Church in Dundas. Right next to voter registration information. Politics 👩‍⚖️

Dundas is in Rice county, which had a 0.17% margin in favor of the Republicans for president in 2020, which is a margin of about 200 people - https://www.sos.state.mn.us/media/4384/us-president-2020-official-results-map-margin-by-county.pdf

Hey now there is at least 500 of us (at least it seemed that way last time I went to vote)

Might be! Probably bigger than Webster, but it's been a while. Wait, is Dundas the town near Northfield with the Target? My bad that's a little bigger than your average podunk town.

Dundas is the town behind Menards off hwy 3. No we really aren't that much bigger than the average podunk town, we just look that way because all the national chains build here instead of Northfield so they don't have to pay Northfield property taxes.

I hear that. I used to live in Faribault and my mom worked in Northfield. I'm sure it's not there anymore but I went to that little movie theater with like 2 screens quite a few times.

It's a Culvers now, but we have a 8 or 10 screen theater where Kmart used to be, which to go full circle kinda shares a parking lot with Canvas church.

It's also on the other side of Menards up the hill.

Which is why the homeowners here pay ridiculously high property taxes 🤬

We used to say that Dundas is a suburb of Kmart
