ST. PAUL, MN – Absentee ballot requests have skyrocketed ten-fold in Minnesota, a top state official there reports.
“We’ve reached one million!” says Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon.
“As of today, 1,048,100 Minnesotans have requested an absentee ballot to vote from home.”
Simon says, on the same date in 2018 the number was 101,161. The number was even lower on the same date in 2016, just 78,216.
In 2018, Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump, 46.44% 44.92% (Jill Stein got 1.26%), in Minnesota and some think Trump will take the state in 2020.
“Amazing!” Simon, a Democrat, proclaimed.
