Minnesota and Maine: The Two States with the Highest Turnout are Somali States

By Daniel Greenfield, Nov 6, 2026:

Nothing to see here, I’m sure. Just record turnout numbers.

More than 2.8 million Minnesotans cast ballots in Tuesday’s midterm election, setting a new statewide record and outpacing the rest of the country.

Roughly 200,000 additional voters cast ballots Minnesota compared to the 2018 midterm, which had previously seen the largest voter turnout in an off-year election.

According to updated data from the University of Florida’s Election Lab, Minnesota is in line for the second-highest voter participation rate of any U.S. state, with over 65% of eligible voters turning out this election. Only Maine had a higher rate, at nearly 66%.

Both states have large and highly politically active Somali populations. What are the odds?

The number of registered voters in Hennepin County, home of Minneapolis, shot up from 789,266 to 811,410 last year to 847,908 to, as of now, 865,496 voters.

That’s far more than at any time in history.

Amazing that Hennepin had more registered voters during a midterm election than during the 2024 presidential election when the number was 789,286. Of course, Minnesota still managed to rack up 3,272,414 ballots in that election, but 2.8 million isn’t too shabby either.

Out of the 865,496 voters, 669,613 ballots have so far been tallied in Hennepin County for a 77% turnout.

All on the up and up, I’m sure. States with Somalis and areas with Somalis, such as Cumberland in Maine, just seem to have very enthusiastic voters.
