Super Tuesday is upon us. The bulk of presidential nominating delegates are allocated today as dozens of states cast their ballots. Less than thirty minutes after polls closed, the Associated Press called the much-predicted outcome: the Minnesota Democratic race for President Joe Biden and the Minnesota Republican for former President Donald Trump.
Over 4,000 precincts across the state were open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and elections staff will work until the early hours of the morning to deliver the public the news of who won delegates and the total turnout of the night.
The only race on the ballot in Minnesota is that of the presidential party nominations. Voters will choose from one of three party ballots to cast their vote for a candidate. 'Uncommitted' is an option on the Democratic ballot as a way of mobilizing voters and sending a message to President Joe Biden that they're unhappy with his relationship with Israel and refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Who gets the party's delegates?
The Republican Party requires 1,215 delegates to secure the nomination. The Minnesota GOP Party allocates their 39 delegates based on a combination of statewide (15) and district (24) performance. If a candidate wins over 85% of the statewide vote, they win all of the delegates.
The Democratic Party requires 1,969 delegates to secure the nomination. The Minnesota DFL Party allots 75 performance-based delegates and 17 are "automatic" delegates reserved for positions such as the governor, according a DFL spokesman.
Regardless of how many states either President Biden or Trump receive tonight, neither will have enough to win the party nomination at this moment.
