By Monday night the state's early voting tally was 62% of 2016's total turnout.
ST PAUL, Minnesota The people who run Minnesota's elections would love to lead the nation again in voter turnout percentage, even in the middle of a pandemic. And, they're off to a good start.
As of Monday night, 1,839,710 votes had been cast by Minnesotans. That includes people who chose to vote absentee in person or by mail, and those who live in areas of the state where elections are conducted only via mail.
That number is roughly 62% of all votes in the last presidential election. In 2016, a record 2,968,281 Minnesotans voted, which was 78% of eligible voters. And in opinion polls conducted in late September 61% of voters said they still planned to vote in person on Election Day.
Nearly 300,000 absentee ballots requested by voters haven't been mailed back of delivered by hand as of Monday night. Due to a court ruling calling into question the validity of ballots received after Tuesday night, voters have been asked to refrain from putting them in the mail at this point.
The options that remain as of Election Eve is to deliver the absentee ballot by hand to your city or county elections office -- the address on the outer ballot envelope -- or to deliver them by hand to a staffed drop-off location.
Secretary of State Steve Simon said those who've already mailed their ballot but haven't been able to confirm the ballot was received and accepted may override that ballot by voting in person.
If MN goes Trump, we have a shot at picking up the House.
Drudge is dead to me................
yes- but i don’t see anything in the write up about turnout today. Its’ all about early voting. Granted i did not hit the link.
Some people doing something? Ilhan Omar being voted out would definitely make my day.
If they know the number of voters, why would all the “wait for all votes counted” crap I keep hearing on MSM matter? If a hundred people vote and Trump has 51 it’s over. Hopefully Trump will have 75 though.
I think we will flip a few House seats here in NY. I also think based on the impromptu rallies and enthusiasm, it could be the same in Kalifornia in places like Orange county.
OFudgePackUla!!
Joe Biden had those really things, you those people gathered honk horn things. Those have drove and inspired the people who go to the booths and pull the leverage stuff out in droves to, you know, do stuff for Joe Clinton.
same question....but I was gonna say it like this: is there any way we can KNOW who this favors?
Here’s my logic.
The rally attendees have always been like 20% democrat, and 20 to 30% independent. Seems most places has about 20 to 30% independent voter turnout.
All we need is like 60% of that independent vote.
It SEEMS the data that we KNOW....makes a compelling circumstantial case that large turnout generally favors Trump.
Can you punch holes in that logic? I think it holds...but...?
Still personally predicting 300+ EC for Trump. Mail in votes not needed to confirm. Inevitable court cases denied. Trump KAGA. Now we start working on President Pence.
“Maybe even Ilhan Omar will be voted out of office?!”
Minneapolis! Never!
The pillow guy was on Newsmax earlier and predicted a MN red wave.
My son and dil just went to vote in San Clemente. He said there were cars and trucks all over place with Trump flags.
I’ve kind of lost track of the state popular vote compact where states would award their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote.
For Trump to win a landslide he will almost certainly win the popular vote.
Anyone have current info on the popular vote compact?
is that usually a rat or GOP area?
I am counting on the Iron Range counties to come through for President Trump and put him over the top in Minnesota.
Ping.
