With its populist, mostly white electorate, Minnesota was a state seen as favorable to Sanders based on his performance in previous caucus contests, which was only aided by high voter turnout, almost topping the record of 211,000 votes in the 2008 Minnesota Democratic Presidential Primary. Sanders ran up big margins in Minneapolis and the Minneapolis suburbs, and in the working-class, mostly white Iron Range of northern Minnesota which contains the city of Duluth, where he won north of 60% of the vote. Sanders won 76 out of 87 counties and all eight congressional districts in the state. Sanders had campaigned hard for the state, appearing with Rep. Keith Ellison, the Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair who endorsed Sanders in October 2015.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-sanders-minnesota-caucus_us_56d4b87be4b0871f60ec6570 Bernie Sanders Wins Crucial Victory In Minnesota Caucus Reporter Samantha Lachman Staff Post The Huffington 2016-03-01 The Huffington Post 2016-09-25 References 30em Minnesota Democratic caucuses 2016
