About 22,000 absentee and mail ballots have been marked accepted for Minnesota's presidential primary. New statistics released today by the Secretary of State's office show that many more ballots have been sent out but not yet been returned to election officials.

And Legislative Republicans plan to highlight recent raises for Minnesota state agency commissioners as examples of excessive spending by DFLers. Several leaders of state agencies saw salary adjustments of $30,000 or more per year.

Those stories and more in today’s evening update. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
