President Trump has plenty of support in Minnesota. Hillary won only nine of the 87 Minnesota counties. Despite winning Hennepin, Dakota and Ramsey counties by a combined 354,000 votes, Hillary only defeated President Trump by 44,000 votes.

The metro area’s liberal bureaucracy does not accurately reflect the cross-section of Minnesota voters. Minnesota should adopt an electoral college type system for national and state elections.
