The votes are in, the Ramsey County Canvassing Board has certified the results ... and St. Paul is the loser.
The tallies, finalized last week, show that St. Paul registered the lowest turnout of eligible voters for cities in Ramsey County. About 40 percent of eligible St. Paul voters cast ballots, compared to 51 percent of voters statewide and 45 percent in Ramsey County as a whole.
The city in Ramsey County with the highest turnout was North Oaks, with 71 percent.
Ramsey County also reports that one in 10 ballots this year was cast before Election Day either in mail or at the county elections office on St. Paul's West Side. That's the third highest rate in the last 20 years, and up 75 percent from 2010. For a non-presidential election year, it was the biggest number of early ballots ever cast in Ramsey County.
