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.
By some miracle. Maybe even Ilhan Omar will be voted out of office?!
Obviously, Joe Biden’s rallies have fired up his supporters and their enthusiasm is carrying them all to the polls!
No?
Hope the riots woke up the normies.
Go MAGA or the commies will burn down those “safe” areas, too.
We can only pray...............

Pray so!
Is there any way this doesn’t favor Trump?
L8R
I don’t think so...................
That’d be biblical. I don’t think God is there. YET!
That would be awesome!
I wouldn’t think so, since the Democrats have pushed mail in voting. Democrats are afraid of the virus, Republicans aren’t
You know, that may well happen since her vote stealing scam had been exposed. I hear her own people hate and fear her and would love to kick her to the curb.
“By some miracle. Maybe even Ilhan Omar will be voted out of office?!”
Hardly; she’ll get at least 65% and likely much more. And Minnesota has one of the most corrupt Soros bought-and-paid-for secretaries of state, so there’s not a great deal to hang our hats on here.
However:
Minnesota, if all we’ve heard about Trump having the potential to do well here actually comes true (sure), Minnesota could be part of Trump’s last-ditch path to 270 after PA, MI and WI are all lost.
If he holds absolutely 100% of everything else from 2016 AND takes Minnesota, he wins 270-268 even without all the other fraud-ridden Rust Belt states. It’s not exactly the most likely outcome, but at least it’s possible.
Drudge calling MN for Biden and MAGA hitting wall in GA.
High turnout is great news for Trump.
The inner cities of Minneapolis and St Paul have voted voted very strongly via early and absentee. I would expect those areas to go heavily Dem. Also, the first ring suburbs too.
The battleground may be the third ring suburbs. I’m in a GOP leaning one and we’ve been busting our butts.
A few results like that, combined with Trump flipping some blue states like Washington, Oregon, Minnesota would help break the spirit of the leftist goons and convince them they lost. Let’s pray it happens
