Voters chose 12 electors, or representatives to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Minnesota was won by the Republican candidate, former Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover won the state over Democratic Party candidate, New York governor Al Smith by a margin of 164,526 votes, or 16.94%. Nationally, Hoover won the election, with 444 electoral votes and a landslide 17.41% lead over Smith in the popular vote. A Republican presidential nominee would not carry Minnesota again until Dwight D. Eisenhower did so in 1952. In fact, only two Republicans have since carried it; Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956, and Richard Nixon in 1972. This was the last presidential election in which a Republican won Minnesota without Richard Nixon being on the ticket. 2024 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election in which St. Louis County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 As of 2024, this is the last election in which both Otter Tail County and Lake County voted for the same candidate. In 1932, Otter Tail would back Franklin Roosevelt and then vote for every ensuing Republican while Lake would be the sole Minnesota county to back Hoover's re-election bid before rapidly becoming one of the most Democratic counties in the state and never voting Republican again.Minnesota https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GWTWExSJE8hs7Z3vYfvKT6-ADoxkQ887CbPWhVBPITo/edit?usp=sharing&usp=embed_facebook 2021-11-16 Google Docs en-US Carlton County would not back a Republican presidential candidate until 2024, and Itasca County until 2016.
