Minnesota

Minnesota is known for a politically active citizenry, and populism has been a longstanding force among the state's political parties.[1][2] Minnesota has a consistently high voter turnout, due in part to its liberal voter registration laws, with virtually no evidence of voter fraud.[3] In the 2008 U.S. presidential election, 77.9% of eligible Minnesotans voted—the highest percentage of any U.S. state—versus the national average of 61.2%.[4] Previously unregistered voters can register on election day at their polls with evidence of residency.[5]
