Minnesotans Say Why They're Voting 3rd Party

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Some Minnesotans say they are tired of the two major parties and are opting for third-party candidates for president.

Sixty-three-year-old David Hansen of Roseville says he's a Republican but voted for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson because the major parties are getting "out of line." He says he just couldn't vote for Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton because "Trump's just weird and Hillary's too far left."

Fifty-year-old Mary McGuigan says she's always voted Republican, but not this time. She voted for Evan McMullin.

She says while some people might think she's throwing her vote away, others are saying it might make a statement. She says she hopes votes for third-party candidates get noticed because "we are tired of the same old thing."
