568,196 Minnesotans already voted

ST. PAUL -- Election day may be Tuesday, but 568,196 Minnesotans already have voted.

That is the word this morning from the secretary of state's office and represents the most early voters ever. This is the first presidential election in which a state no-excuse, early-voting law is in effect.

The figure represents the absentee vote count plus mail-in ballots used in some rural predicts.
