Step up to the counter for a strong cup of curmudgeon with an extra shot of analysis. Kenny Olson and Jay Kolls sit down with Velocity Public Affairs co-founders Mike Zipko and Patrick Connolly to unpack the 2026 election results. Zipko and Connolly bring the public-affairs and political-operative view to the table: what the numbers actually say, who is already floating names for Klobuchar’s vacancy, how Flanagan’s win reshapes the DFL, and what all of this means for Minnesota politics once the confetti settles.

As a life long resident of Minnesota it is becoming increasingly difficult to try and stay positive.
Nearly 1 million Minnesotans cast absentee or mail ballots before Election Day, the most ever before an election in a non-presidential year, the secretary of state's office said.
As of 7 a.m. Tuesday, local election officials had accepted 983,558 ballots. Of those, 699,815 were cast in person and 283,743 were returned by mail. Absentee ballots arriving Tuesday are expected to push the total past 1 million.
Rain did not deter voters Tuesday, with a steady turnout at Alice Smith Elementary in Hopkins at midday.
Secretary of State Steve Simon cast his ballot in Hopkins on Tuesday morning with his family. Simon told WCCO his main goals are high turnout and low drama.
"I have every expectation that we're going to deliver an election that is secure," Simon said.
In Minneapolis, about a dozen people were in line outside Lake Harriet Methodist Church before polls opened. One voter said there may never have been a more important election than this one, and that many people feel they can't make a difference. "But you really can," the voter said.
Polling places are open until 8 p.m., and anyone in line by then can still vote. Every voter is assigned to a specific polling place, which can be found at mnvotes.gov/pollfinder. A sample ballot is available there, too. Voters who are not registered can sign up at their polling place, but they need proof of residence, such as a driver's license or a TV bill.
