As of this morning, 1.85 million Minnesotans voted before Election Day. (This number will tick up a little more, as ballots arrive today, and — courts depending — over the next few days.)
283K outstanding ballots, many of whom are probably people who decided to vote in-person.

More than 130,000 Minnesotans voted early between yesterday morning and this morning. It looks like ~70,000 of those might have been early-in-person (judging by the number of requests) and ~55-60K were mail ballots arriving.
Overall, Minnesota’s 1.85M early votes is about 62% of 2016 turnout, and about 45% of the total eligible elctorate.
Republicans appear to have closed a little bit of the early voting gap, but there’s still a clear negative relationship between the early vote rate and Trump’s 2016 vote share in Minnesota.
Hennepin County, the state’s biggest DFL vote engine, is at 76% of 2016 votes.
