All four responded that they did not vote for the current president, but none of the candidates specified who they did voted for in the last presidential election.
On election day, Barnes County District 2 commissioner candidates Shawn Olauson and Cory Neseth, Barnes County District 3 candidates Bill Carlblom and Eldred Knutson and Barnes County District 4 candidates Vickie Lovell and Ron Manson will be on the November 8th ballot.
