The 2004 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on November 2, 2004 throughout all 50 states and the District of Columbia, which was part of the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Voters chose 10 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Minnesota was won by Democrat nominee John Kerry by a 3.5% margin of victory. Prior to the election, most news organizations considered it as a major swing state in 2004 based on pre-election polling. The state is historically a blue state, as the last Republican to carry the state in a presidential election was Richard Nixon in 1972. However, in 2000 Al Gore carried the state with just 48% of the vote, by a margin of just 2.5%. In 2004, Minnesota was the only state to split its electoral votes, as a faithless elector pledged to Kerry cast a ballot for John Edwards, his running mate.
