BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota has lived up to its reliably red reputation, electing a Republican governor, Doug Burgum, and adding to the GOP’s already robust majority in the Legislature. Voters overwhelmingly backed Donald Trump on Tuesday, and the two North Dakota Republicans in Congress cruised to easy victories. Voters also approved a ballot measure that will allow residents to possess a small amount of marijuana for medical purposes.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota hasn’t had a Democratic governor since 1992, and voters in the reliably red state are expected to extend that streak another four years.

Multimillionaire Fargo businessman Doug Burgum was considered a shoo-in against Rolla Rep. Marvin Nelson and Libertarian Party candidate Marty Riske.

The gubernatorial matchup has focused on qualifications to lead the state amid declining oil and crop revenues.

Burgum’s toughest campaigning is behind him, after defeating North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem in June in the Republican primary for governor.

Burgum painted Stenehjem as part of an establishment that he said has done a poor job of managing money, putting the state’s future in doubt.

 

North Dakota voters have approved a ballot measure that will incorporate victims’ rights provisions into the state constitution.

The measure was patterned after one pioneered in California called Marsy’s Law. The law is named after California college student Marsalee “Marsy” Nicholas, who was stalked and killed in 1983 by an ex-boyfriend. Her brother, billionaire Henry Nicholas, has been bankrolling a national effort to expand the law into more states. He put roughly $2.5 million into efforts to pass the North Dakota measure.

Supporters said the law would bolster the rights of crime victims. But groups representing crime victims and defense attorneys and prosecutors said changing the constitution to include the provisions was a bad idea that would have unintended consequences.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The leader of the group that helped defeat a proposal to raise tobacco taxes in North Dakota says residents were leery about where the money was going.

The increase would have raised taxes on cigarettes by 400 percent, from 44 cents a pack to $2.20, which supporters said would keep kids from smoking.

North Dakota Retail Association President Mike Rud says his group does not support any kids using tobacco, but that the bill did not clearly define how the funds would be spent.

The money was meant to go toward public health and veterans programs. Rud says if those groups need money then “we all need to pony up to the bar” and pay for it, rather than a segment of the population.

A spokesman for measure supporters did not return phone messages left by The Associated Press.

 

Supporters of a measure that will allow the use of medical marijuana say the law will improve the quality of life for many North Dakotans.

North Dakota Compassionate Care spokeswoman Anita Morgan says her group is proud of residents for “standing up for patients at the polls.” She says supporters look forward to working with the state Department of Health and other officials to get the program started.

Tom Angell of Marijuana Majority says North Dakota approved the law with an effort that was “largely off the radar” and showed that any state could be next to change its laws.

The measure was opposed by the North Dakota Medical Association. The group’s executive director, Courtney Koebele, says the association is disappointed and is worried about the safety of the law and the loopholes for growing and using pot.

 

North Dakota voters have approved a ballot measure requiring that elected state legislators live in the districts they represent.

It’s been an open secret at the Capitol over the years that a handful of lawmakers — both Democrats and Republicans — haven’t lived in the district they represent.

The North Dakota Constitution only specifies that state lawmakers live in the district from which they are elected on the day of the election.

The relaxed language spurred some lawmakers to move outside their districts once elected, which legislative leaders from both parties sought to prevent in the bipartisan resolution lawmakers passed last year.

 

North Dakota Voters have approved a measure that will allow lawmakers to tap the state’s foundation aid stabilization fund.

The fund was established in 1994 by voters. It’s been a financial backstop to North Dakota’s primary state program for supporting local elementary and high schools. It was only to be used by the governor to provide education aid if tax collections fall short.

The measure approved Tuesday allows lawmakers to use the money for education-related purposes when the principal exceeds a certain threshold.

The fund is financed by a share of North Dakota’s oil extraction tax. It currently holds about $573 million and has been growing at a rate of about $6 million monthly.

The North Dakota School Board Association opposed the measure, while the union representing teachers supported it.

 

North Dakota voters have returned popular Republican lawmaker John Hoeven to the U.S. Senate for a second term.

Hoeven defeated Democratic candidate Eliot Glassheim and Libertarian candidate Robert Marquette.

 

Republican U.S. Congressman Kevin Cramer defeated Democratic candidate Chase Iron Eyes and Libertarian candidate Jack Seaman.

 

Some North Dakota State University students say they felt uneasy about voting after being given confusing information about financial aid at an early voting site at the Fargodome on campus.

Freshman Phoebe Ellis says she and others were told voting could threaten their financial aid by changing their state residency status. Assistant Professor Chelsea Pace says more than half a dozen students told her similar stories.

It isn’t known who gave out the information. Cass County Elections Coordinator DeAnn Buckhouse says officials are looking into it. She says it would be inappropriate for a poll worker to give out such information.

NDSU Assistant Director for Civic Engagement Hailey Goplen says federal financial aid isn’t impacted by where a student votes. She says it’s also unlikely that scholarships would be affected.

 

The record for early voting in the state is about 130,000 votes in the 2012 general election. Secretary of State Al Jaeger says the most recent count shows 130,169 early ballots, with about 8 percent of absentee and mail-in ballots still to be submitted to his office.

Historically, presidential elections have drawn far more voters in North Dakota than midterm elections.

 

Seventy-six-year-old Mandan motel manager Patel Ghanshyam (GAN’-shum) came to the polls early on Monday simply because he was eager. The native of Uganda says he likes to exercise the freedom to express his views.

 

In other news…

Bismarck  (CSi)  North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem warns North Dakota residents that the “jury duty” scam is once again circulating in the state.

In this scam, the scam artist calls pretending to be a law enforcement officer, claims the resident has missed jury duty, and threatens to have the person arrested unless they pay a fine immediately.

In some variations of the scam, the supposed officer instructs the consumer to buy prepaid cash cards or gift cards and then read off the numbers from the back of those cards; in other variations, the scam artists offer a “discount” on the supposed fine if the consumer sends cash via overnight delivery.

Stenehjem reminds residents that no court will ever make calls threatening to arrest someone for missing jury duty and no legitimate government official or law enforcement officer will ever demand that you mail cash, wire money or buy prepaid cards to pay fines and fees.

There is no need to report having received one of these calls.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota regulators are proposing a fine of at least $15,000 against the company building the four-state Dakota Access pipeline.

The Public Service Commission said Monday in a complaint that a subsidiary of Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners didn’t get regulators’ approval to proceed with construction after artifacts, including stone cairns, were found last month.

The company diverted construction so the artifacts weren’t disturbed, a plan the State Historic Preservation Office concurred with. But the PSC says the company should have gotten clearance from regulators.

Energy Transfer Partners can agree to a fine or request a hearing. Spokeswoman Vicki Granado says the company doesn’t think it did anything wrong but is working with the PSC.

The $3.8 billion pipeline will carry North Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to Illinois.

 

DALLAS (AP) — The decline in U.S. oil production may not be as severe as expected just a month ago.

The government is raising its forecast of U.S. production for both this year and 2017, as drillers respond to higher crude prices. Still, output won’t match 2015, which was the biggest year for U.S. production in 35 years.

The Energy Department predicted Tuesday that domestic production will top 8.7 million barrels per day next year. That’s 140,000 more barrels per day than the department estimated just a month ago. Forecasters also raised their estimate of 2016 daily oil production by 110,000 barrels to more than 8.8 million barrels.

Production hit 9.4 million barrels per day in 2015, the highest since 1972.

NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION

NEW YORK (AP) — Brook Lopez scored 26 points, and the Brooklyn Nets kept the Minnesota Timberwolves winless on the road with a 119-110 victory Tuesday night.

The Nets shot 55.3 percent from the field and had eight players with at least nine points, a surprisingly easy offensive performance against a young Wolves team that clearly hasn’t yet grasped Tom Thibodeau’s defensive schemes.

Trevor Booker added 15 points and Sean Kilpatrick had 14 for the Nets.

Andrew Wiggins scored a career-high 36 points for the Wolves, making a career-best six 3-pointers. Karl-Anthony Towns had 21 points, but scoring wasn’t the problem for Minnesota.

The Wolves are 0-4 on the road and just 1-5 overall.

It was close most of the way, neither team having much luck stopping the other, and the Nets’ lead was just two after Wiggins’ jumper with 56 seconds left. Bojan Bogdanovic then made a 3-pointer with 37 seconds to go for a 115-110 lead, and Isaiah Whitehead and Bogdanovic closed it out with free throws.

The Twins said Tuesday that pitching coach Neil Allen, third base coach Gene Glynn, bullpen coach Eddie Guardado, assistant hitting coach Rudy Hernandez and bench coach Joe Vavra will return.

Former Twins star Paul Molitor will be in his third season as manager. Minnesota was a big league-worst 59-103 this year, the team’s most losses since the original Washington Senators went 50-104 in 1949.

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo and right fielder Jason Heyward have come away with fielding honors. It’s the fourth Gold Glove for Heyward, and the first for Rizzo.
