2068 United States presidential election in Minnesota



The 2068 United States presidential election in Minnesota was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2068, as part of the 2068 United States presidential election. The Republican ticket of Álvaro Hunter and Julian Garnett won the state and its 9 electoral votes.

Background
Minnesota, a Democratic-leaning swing state since the early 21st century, voted for the Republican ticket by a margin of 31.58%, the largest margin of victory for any party in the state since the 1920 election. Unlike previous elections, Hennepin (Minneapolis suburbs,) Minneapolis and Ramsey (St. Paul) counties only voted for the Democratic candidate by narrow margins; Hilton did not receive a majority in any of the three counties. The reason for this was the presence of Green Party candidate Cara Nunez and the massively increased Republican support in cities compared to earlier elections. This was the biggest factor leading to the wide Republican margin of victory in the state. As in much of the rest of the country, Green support was most concentrated in urban areas, and Democratic support was most concentrated in wealthy suburbs.

Minnesota weighed in as about 7% more Republican than the national average in this election.
