Source notes · U.S. House by county, 2022 vs 2026
File: MN.csv (87 counties). Columns: d = Democratic (Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor, party code DFL), r = Republican (R), o = all other U.S. House votes (2022: Legal Marijuana Now, Grassroots–Legalize Cannabis, write-ins; 2026: an independent in District 5 and write-ins). Votes are summed over every "U.S. Representative District n" contest in each county (Hennepin, for example, is split among Districts 3, 5 and 6). Minnesota SOS county IDs 01–87 (alphabetical) were mapped to FIPS as 27000 + (2 × ID − 1); checked against the Census list of 87 counties.

2022 matches exactly. For 2026, the county sums equal the SOS's own district-level file exactly (D 1,574,315, R 1,214,761). The small gap to the national aggregate is a difference in timing between that aggregate and the SOS file. No district is missing.
o includes write-in votes, which the SOS reports as one aggregate "WRITE-IN" line per county and district.These notes record where each number came from and how it was checked. 2026 figures are unofficial. See the methodology and disclaimer.
