🔵 13 Elections Strong: Minnesota's Unbroken Democratic Voting Record
🏛️ How Minnesota Became America's Most Reliable Blue State Since 1976
3. Description:
Minnesota's political identity is unique in American electoral history. The state has consistently voted Democratic in presidential elections since supporting Jimmy Carter in 1976, making it the longest active streak of any state favoring one party. Most remarkably, during Ronald Reagan's 1984 landslide victory where he won 49 states, Minnesota was the sole holdout, choosing native son Walter Mondale (Carter's former vice president and a longtime Minnesota senator) by a narrow margin of just 3,761 votes. This made Reagan's 1984 electoral map one of the most lopsided in history—525 electoral votes to Mondale's 13 (Minnesota plus Washington D.C.). Minnesota's progressive political tradition stems from its Scandinavian immigrant heritage, strong labor unions, and legacy of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), which merged in 1944. The state has produced prominent Democrats including Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, and Walter Mondale, cementing its reputation as a progressive stronghold in the Upper Midwest.
