DULUTH — In the DFL convention's third ballot, the Marty delegates split fairly evenly, giving each of the four remaining candidates a boost, but not enough to make meaningful progress to a 60 percent majority.

Ballot three:

  • Kelliher: 414; 30.7 percent
  • Rybak: 370; 27.4 percent
  • Thissen: 295, 21.8 percent
  • Rukavina: 269; 19.9 percent.
  • No endorsement: 2.5 votes

No one is dropped in this round. On it goes.
