Of 1.8 million mail-in ballots in Minnesota, just 2,500 arrived after Election Day [View all]

The final tally in Minnesota's 2020 general election produced a historic turnout rate and a small number of late-arriving mail-in votes, making further legal challenges to ballots arriving after Election Day unlikely.

Secretary of State Steve Simon hailed as a "great success" a report that roughly 2,500 absentee ballots were counted after the original 8 p.m. Election Day deadline. Under a state consent decree that had come under challenge before the election, officials could count ballots that arrived in the mail up to seven days after the Nov. 3 Election Day.

Democrat Joe Biden carried the state over President Donald Trump by more than 233,000 votes.
