What's the laws when it comes to leaving work to go vote in MN?

Re: Did you, or are you planning on, voting today?
 

Minnesota

Minnesota Statutes § 204C.04


Employees may take the morning off work (paid) for the purpose of voting.

Already voted before going to work, there were more workers than voters. No lines what so ever. My polling place was also very convenient, basically drove down my street, and crossed the main road into the parking lot of my polling place.

Re: Did you, or are you planning on, voting today?
 

You must be allowed the time to drive to and from your polling place and the amount of time it takes to vote.

Mayer is tiny, took less than 5 minutes from getting out of my car to getting back in it.

Re: Did you, or are you planning on, voting today?
 

There was a decent line this morning, about 45 minutes. I wish I would've taken a picture of the discreetly placed Obama poster placed within sight, highly illegal, but not too surprising from what I'm seeing around the country, especially in Philly.

Voted over lunch today :)

Re: Did you, or are you planning on, voting today?
 

Waited till after work to vote, only took 20 minutes

Re: Did you, or are you planning on, voting today?
 

Voted!!!

Re: Did you, or are you planning on, voting today?
 

Saw that. Nothing like a recognized terrorist organization (black panthers) standing over your shoulder while you vote either eh?


Can someone explain to me how exactly "every vote counts"? Or how states can call in with 7% of the votes in saying XYZ canidate has won? Do the other ~90% of the votes not matter?

Re: Did you, or are you planning on, voting today?
 

They use exit polls, history of voting in certain counties, etc to predict the outcome of each state. The states aren't the ones predicting either, it's the media.

Re: Did you, or are you planning on, voting today?
 

Yea the whole 1% and calling a state makes no sense to me, maybe I need to research how that works.
