Analysis
Similarly to presidential elections held in Minnesota over the previous 12 years, the Greens won the urban vote by a wide margin, the Democrats won a plurality of the suburban vote, and the Republicans won the rural vote by a wide margin. Minneapolis gave Annie Brown over 63% of the vote, the best ever showing for a Green candidate in the city up to the election. The Republicans maintained their dominance in the rural vote and received sizeable portions of the urban and suburban vote, giving them a narrow plurality win in the state. The Democrats' best performances were in Scott and Carver counties, in the southwestern Twin Cities Metro, due to their status as wealthy suburban counties.

Minnesota was the fifth closest state in the 2080 election, with only Tennessee, California, Pennsylvania and Kansas being closer.
