A password glitch slowed the DFL update of the Secretary of State's caucus results, but we now have the numbers. Here is the Maplewood Voices compilation of DFL and IR precinct results for Senate District 55 (small pdf), including a comparison to the state as a whole. Turnout is computed using registered voters for the 2006 general election, the latest precinct registration numbers I could find for the whole senate district. Time permitting, minor party results will be added soon.
2700 DFLers turned out along with 842 IRs, totalling 7.5% of registered voters. While enormous for a caucus, this was a little below the statewide turnout of 8.8%.
My read is that voters wish the presidential election was tomorrow rather than in nine months. People are anxious to get on with having their say, which given the DFL showing will translate into a major course correction.
This will be a very political year.
