1.72 million Minnesotans have already voted in the 2020 presiential election. There are about 340,000 absentee ballots out that have not been returned yet; some may still be in transit, while many of the rest might be people who are planning on voting in-person. 
Here’s the rate of early voting in Minnesota over time. Even if a big final rush happens in the next 24 hours, we’ll almost certainly fall short of 2 million early votes (and definitely won’t, unlike some other states with lower historic turnout, surpass 2016 total votes).
Here’s that same chart, early voting over time in Minnesota, as a percent of 2016 turnout:
58% of Hennepin County’s total registered voters have already voted as of today, along with 53% of Ramsey, 51% of Dakota, 46% of Anoka, 44% of Scott, 39% of St. Louis & 31% of Sherburne.
The data is a bit messy, but in general, the worse Trump did in 2016, the higher early voting is in that county. Fits with data showing Trump voters say they're more likely to vote in-person this year.
