1Opinion of the CourtLaROCQUE, J.
Randolph Tatur, Raymond Kramer, Eugene Dusell, Melvin Wedwick, Robert Mar-tindale, Donald Molstad, Gerald Booth and Phillip J. Schneider, candidates running for reelection to the Rusk County Board, appeal a summary judgment in favor of David J. Solsrud and John Christman, sued for defamation because they allegedly misrepresented the candidates' voting records in letters they sent out to electors during the election race.1 The trial court held that misrepresenting how the candidates had voted on specific issues is not defamatory as a matter of law. We agree and affirm.
