MinnPost November 20, 2014 May 29, 2015 Bierschbach, Briana Of the 11 districts they gained from the DFL, 10 are outside of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Seven rural DFL incumbents who voted for legalizing same-sex marriage lost their seats, despite their districts having supported a proposed constitutional amendment in 2012 to ban it. Yet two rural DFL incumbents who voted against legalizing same-sex marriage also lost their seats.http://www.minnpost.com/politics-policy/2014/11/big-assist-rural-voters-gop-retakes-minnesota-house With big assist from rural voters, GOP retakes Minnesota House MinnPost November 5, 2014 May 29, 2015 Bierschbach, Briana Split-ticket voters determined the outcome of several key races. Nearly 450,000 voters chose one party's candidate for a House seat, but then switched to pick a different party's candidate for the United States Senate or governor. Eight of the 11 districts the DFL lost featured at least some ticket splitting between DFL candidate for governor Mark Dayton and/or U.S. Senate candidate Al Franken and the Republican House candidate. Nearly all of the DFL candidates who lost came from districts in which many voters supported Republicans in previous elections, including candidates for governor Republican Tom Emmer over Democrat Mark Dayton in 2010 and presidential candidates Republican Mitt Romney over Democratic president Barack Obama in 2012.http://www.startribune.com/party-hopping-voters-drove-minnesota-s-results/281716121/ Party-hopping voters drove Minnesota's results Star Tribune November 6, 2014 May 29, 2015 Howatt, Glenn Outside and party spending reached large levels in several House districts compared to what has been spent in the past as Republican groups focused their attention on the House rather than statewide races. In some races, spending reached $500,000. Turnout was the lowest in more than 20 years, with slightly over 50 percent of eligible voters having voted. Turnout across the state was lower compared to 2010. It was slightly lower in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs, helping suburban DFL candidates win in those areas. In rural Minnesota, turnout was down by about 10 percentage points since 2010. Much of the drop-off was among DFL voters, while those who did vote in those districts were likely over the age of 45.https://www.minnpost.com/politics-policy/2014/11/how-house-gop-conquered-rural-minnesota How the House GOP conquered rural Minnesota MinnPost November 11, 2014 May 29, 2015 Bierschbach, Briana See also Minnesota Senate election, 2012 Minnesota gubernatorial election, 2014 Minnesota elections, 2014 References 30em http://candidates.sos.state.mn.us/CandidateFilingResults.aspx?county=0&municipality=0&schooldistrict=0&hospitaldistrict=0&level=1&party=0&federal=False&judicial=False&executive=False&senate=False&representative=True&title=&office=0&candidateid=0 2014 State General Election Candidate Filings Minnesota Secretary of State June 9, 2014 http://electionresults.sos.state.mn.us/Results/StateRepresentative/19?districttype=LG Results for All State Representative Races, Primary Election Minnesota Secretary of State August 20, 2014 http://mngop.com/our-party/2014-candidates/ 2014 Candidates Republican Party of Minnesota April 16, 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140417131509/http://mngop.com/our-party/2014-candidates/ April 17, 2014 http://www.dfl.org/mn-house/ Minnesota House Candidates Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party June 14, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141006012304/http://www.dfl.org/mn-house/ October 6, 2014 dead External links Elections & Voting - Minnesota Secretary of State Category:2014 elections in Minnesota Category:Minnesota House of Representatives elections Minnesota House of Representatives
