We did it, MInnesota!
For the third time in a row, we are #1 in America in voter turnout.
#1 in 2016
#1 in 2018
And now, #1 in 2020.
(79.96% of eligible voters voted - a modern-day record)
Amazing!

- Not true. In Minnesota we work to ensure that everyone who's eligible to vote can vote; that every legal vote gets counted; and that whoever gets the most votes wins. That's not “hanky-panky.” That's democracy.Trump on Minnesota: We should have won his state twice but a lot of hanky-panky goes on there. I know why we didn’t win it. People don’t like to talk about it
00:00 - Hey @MLB, we in Minnesota would welcome the All-Star Game! Bonus: We have pro-voter election laws, and the #1 voter turnout in the nation. ⚾️Major League Baseball is moving its All-Star Game out of Atlanta after Georgia enacted new voting restrictions last week, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced in a statement today. politico.com/news/2021/04/0…
- Minnesota, you crushed it last night! With 100% Reporting: 902,119 people voted in the primary; the highest number of primary voters since 1982. Overall turnout was approximately 22.7%; the highest turnout percentage in a primary since 1994. Amazing!

- Now that the polls in Minnesota are closed, let’s give thanks for our amazing poll workers and election administrators - whose hard work and attention to detail make our system so successful. 🙌
- My two big wishes for the 2024 election: High turnout & low drama. Let’s make them both happen! 🗳️
- It's like advising someone to try to rob a bank to see if the security is as good as the bank says it is. (Knowingly voting twice is a felony. Period.)President Trump has appeared to encourage people in North Carolina to vote twice — once by mail and once in person — during the November general election, essentially telling them to test the voting system. Americans can only vote once per election. cnn.it/2DnhBQ7
- I will not hand over Minnesota voters' sensitive personal information to President Trump's voting commission. goo.gl/p58z4R
- Totally false. This kind of misinformation is dangerous. In Minnesota, multiple safeguards ensure that a counterfeit ballot scheme would simply not work. We’ve had absentee balloting by mail for decades. People across the political spectrum use it, trust it, and love it.RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES!
- In MInnesota, the legislature wisely granted local governments a two-week head start before Election Day to start counting absentee ballots. In Pennsylvania, the legislature this year denied a similar request. That refusal is the reason ballots are still being counted in PA.
- Best new Minnesota tourism slogan! 👇
- FACT: 130,000 Minnesotans (in 78 of 87 counties) already live in communities with no polling place; they get ballots by mail every election without having to request or apply. We should scale up that system temporarily to put public health first during a pandemic election.
- I met Walter Mondale when I was 17. I told him I was interested in public service, and asked if he had any advice. He smiled. “Don’t worry about sleep,” he said. “You can sleep when you’re dead.” Sleep well, Mr. Vice President. You’ve earned it. You made America better.
