[[Minnesota]] backed Obama for re-election, giving him 52.65% of the vote, while Republican challenger Mitt Romney took 44.96%, a victory margin of 7.69%. With ten Democratic wins in a row, Minnesota has the longest current streak of voting for the Democratic candidate in presidential elections of any state, having not voted Republican since [[Richard Nixon]] in [[1972 United States presidential election in Minnesota|1972]]. This is the longest streak for the Democrats in history amongst non-Southern states.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2012-04-30|title=Will Vermont's 27-Cycle GOP Presidential Streak Ever Be Broken?|url=https://smartpolitics.lib.umn.edu/2012/04/30/will-vermonts-27-cycle-gop-pre/|access-date=2021-06-22|website=Smart Politics|language=en-US}}</ref>

However, Romney was able to significantly improve on McCain's performance in the North Star State, as he did nationally. Fourteen counties that voted for Obama in [[2008 United States presidential election in Minnesota|2008]] flipped and voted for the Republican Party in 2012, while many Democratic counties had a margin of victory much narrower than in 2008. Many of these counties had not voted for a Republican in decades, such as [[Big Stone County, Minnesota|Big Stone County]], as well as Pine County. Obama thus became the first Democrat to win the [[White House]] without carrying Big Stone County since [[Grover Cleveland]] in [[1892 United States presidential election in Minnesota|1892]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/|access-date=2020-09-02|website=uselectionatlas.org}}</ref> Obama also became the first ever Democrat to win the White House without carrying [[Red Lake County, Minnesota|Red Lake County]], as well as the first to do so without carrying [[Lincoln County, Minnesota|Lincoln]], [[Marshall County, Minnesota|Marshall]], [[Pennington County, Minnesota|Pennington]], or [[Polk County, Minnesota|Polk]] Counties since [[Woodrow Wilson]] in [[1912 United States presidential election in Minnesota|1912]], the first to do so without carrying [[Grant County, Minnesota|Grant]] or [[Pine County, Minnesota|Pine]] Counties since [[Woodrow Wilson]] in [[1916 United States presidential election in Minnesota|1916]].

Democratic (DFL)

The 2012 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on November 6, 2012, as part of the 2012 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. State voters chose ten electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan.

Minnesota backed Obama for re-election, giving him 52.65% of the vote, while Republican challenger Mitt Romney took 44.96%, a victory margin of 7.69%. With ten Democratic wins in a row, Minnesota has the longest current streak of voting for the Democratic candidate in presidential elections of any state, having not voted Republican since Richard Nixon in 1972. This is the longest streak for the Democrats in history amongst non-Southern states.[2]

However, Romney was able to significantly improve on McCain's performance in Minnesota, as he did nationally. Fourteen counties that voted for Obama in 2008 flipped and voted for the Republican Party in 2012, while many Democratic counties had a margin of victory much narrower than in 2008. Many of these counties had not voted for a Republican in decades, such as Big Stone County, as well as Pine County. Obama thus became the first Democrat to win the White House without carrying Big Stone County since Grover Cleveland in 1892.[3] Obama also became the first ever Democrat to win the White House without carrying Red Lake County, as well as the first to do so without carrying Lincoln, Marshall, Pennington, or Polk Counties since Woodrow Wilson in 1912, the first to do so without carrying Grant or Pine Counties since Woodrow Wilson in 1916. This remains the last election where Minnesota voted to the left of Colorado and Virginia.

As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last time the Democratic candidate won the following counties: Beltrami, Chippewa, Fillmore, Freeborn, Houston, Itasca, Kittson, Koochiching, Lac qui Parle, Mahnomen, Mower, Norman, Rice, Swift, and Traverse.

Conventions

There is no formal system of allocating delegates to candidates in any step of the election process. At each meeting the participants decides what the best course of action is. The state convention can vote to bind the 13 at-large delegates to a candidate. The 24 delegates elected at the CD conventions and the 3 automatic (RNC) delegates are not legally bound to vote for a candidate.

  • 17 February - 31 March: BPOU conventions elect delegates to the state convention and the congressional district conventions.
  • 14–21 April: Eight congressional conventions elect 3 National Convention delegates each.
  • 18–19 May: State convention elect 13 National Convention delegates.[11]
