According to the MN Secretary of State:
There are approximately 3,658,000 eligable voters in MN.
At 7am yesterday there were 2,977,480 registered voters in MN.
Yesterday 2,828,637 turned out at polls in MN.
No matter how you cut it, this was a great day for voter turn out in MN.
77% of eligable voters turned out, 95% of registered voters showed up.
With a little digging one can summarize the same for Minneapolis using the tables available at:

I would be curious to know what fraction of the eligible voting population in Minneapolis voted yesterday. Nation wide, the presidential vote turnout was a still-dismal ~114 million people out of 210 million plus eligible voters, or less than 54%. I'm amazed that so many people can be so apathetic about exercising their rights.
