Minnesotans are notorious for their political particpation rates, and already the state has 84 percent of eligible voters registered for the November elections. That's already 12,000 more than in 2004, and some suspect that the state will reach 90 percent registration by the election.
What does this mean for the candidates? It could be bad for McCain, since higher turnout usually favors Democratic candidates, but the rate of registration might suggest otherwise. Since the state's capital was the site for this year's RNC, it's possible that the event spurred participation among inactive GOP members living in a historic Democratic stronghold.
We'll see in November.
