Minnesota is on the cusp of leading the nation in voter turnout again. As of this morning, 3.3 Million of the 4.1 Million registered voters in the state cast a ballot this year. Leading the state, is precinct MINNEAPOLIS W-10 P-03A 1815 where 97% of the residents of the Lakewood Cemetery voted by absentee ballot.

“Residents in the Lakewood area generally don’t vote in elections, but this year we found a bunch of ballots of theirs in that wagon over there” stated Brian Fredrickson, Hennepin County Elections Office. “We take great pride in Minnesota that our elections are run safely, securely and swiftly. Lakewood Cemetery residents must have felt more empowered by our extra safety measures due to COVID.”
