United States presidential election, 2004, in Minnesota
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article describes the United States presidential election, 2004, in Minnesota.
Minnesota was a swing state that eventually went for Democratic candidate John F. Kerry in 2004. It was the only state to split its electoral votes, as a faithless elector pledged to Kerry cast a ballot for John R. Edwards, his vice president.
The results were fairly uniform across the state; only a handful of counties had either Bush or Kerry getting over 60% of the vote, and no county had either candidate with over 70% of the vote.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| John Kerry of Massachusetts | John Edwards of North Carolina | Democrat | 9 | 1,445,014 | 51.09% |
| George W. Bush of Texas | Richard Cheney of Wyoming | Republican | 0 | 1,346,695 | 47.61% |
| Ralph Nader of Connecticut | Peter Miguel Camejo of California | Better life | 0 | 18,683 | 0.66% |
