Senator Al Franken (D-Lino Lakes)

He's not from Lino Lakes nor does he live there. (That's pretty red territory)

I read that as referring to a prison at Lino Lakes.

"He's not from Lino Lakes nor does he live there."

It appears sarcasm/parody are wasted on you.

The references to Lino Lakes, and Faribault, are referring to state prisons.

“Senator Al Franken (D-Lino Lakes)”

---

That means that he represents Lino Lakes (a correctional facility in MN.). No, he does not live in Lino Lakes, but many of his voters did - which is what the story refers to - felons voting and universally voting for Franken.
