Just so you know I didn't make it up:

More than 2.6 million Minnesotans cast ballots in this month's election, short of the 2.9 million who voted two years ago, but still good enough to hit 64.25 percent of eligible voters and once again lead the nation.

State officials certified the election results Tuesday.

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, who chairs the state canvassing board, noted that it was the second election in a row that Minnesota voters led the nation.

"We were No. 1, and not by a little bit. We beat the second-place finisher, the state of Colorado, by over a full percentage point, which in election terms is a lot," he said.


I'm crushed, if I can't trust MPR, who can I trust?
