Minnesota is a state in the Upper Midwest region of the United States.[1] Since it first joined the United States in 1858,[2] Minnesota has participated in 42 presidential elections. *FIX* It was initially granted seven electoral votes,[3] gaining three following the 1910 census.[4] It was given an additional vote in the 1930 census,[5] which it later lost in the 1940 census.[5] The state's electoral votes were reduced to eight votes in the 1950 census[6] before returning to its original seven following the 2000 census.[7]

Oklahoma initially vacillated between voting Democrat and Republican, but it has recently come to be considered a safely red state. Republicans having won every single Oklahoma county since the 2004 presidential election.[8] The last Democrat to win the state was Lyndon B. Johnson in his 1964 landslide victory.[9][10] Oklahoma was last considered a swing state during the presidential campaigns of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.[11]

Republicans have won the White House without winning Oklahoma only twice: William H. Taft in 1908 and Calvin Coolidge in 1924. Democrats have won without the state eight times, the most recent in Joe Biden's election in 2020.
