Voters chose 11 electors, or representatives to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Minnesota was won by the Democratic Party candidate U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts won the state over incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon by a margin of 22,018 votes, or 1.42%. Kennedy went on to win the election nationally, but by the closest margin since James Garfield's 0.11% victory over Winfield Scott Hancock in 1880. This was the last presidential election held in Minnesota before the elimination of the 9th congressional district in 1963. It was also the last time Mower County voted for a Republican presidential candidate until Donald Trump in 2016.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 This marks the last time heavily populated Hennepin County voted for a candidate who lost the state as a whole.Minnesota https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GWTWExSJE8hs7Z3vYfvKT6-ADoxkQ887CbPWhVBPITo/edit?usp=sharing&usp=embed_facebook 2021-11-12 Google Docs en-US This election in the state would begin an ongoing streak of the state voting Democrat in every election starting with this one to the present day, with 1972 being the sole exception.
