Seats changing parties [ edit ] Seat gains and holds by party *Elected to non-consecutive terms. The Republicans made most of their gains in rural districts, continuing a trend of rural districts leaning more towards the Republicans and suburban districts leaning more towards the DFL.[ 198] Twin Cities metropolitan area.
Seven rural DFL incumbents who voted for legalizing same-sex marriage lost their seats, despite their districts having supported aproposed constitutional amendment in 2012 to ban it. Yet two rural DFL incumbents who voted against legalizing same-sex marriage also lost their seats.[ 199]
Split-ticket voters determined the outcome of several key races. Nearly 450,000 voters chose one party's candidate for a House seat, but then switched to pick a different party's candidate for theUnited States Senate orgovernor . Eight of the 11 districts the DFL lost featured at least some ticket splitting between DFL candidate for governorMark Dayton and/or U.S. Senate candidateAl Franken and the Republican House candidate. Nearly all of the DFL candidates who lost came from districts in which many voters supported Republicans in previous elections, including candidates for governor RepublicanTom Emmer over Democrat Mark Dayton in 2010 and presidential candidates RepublicanMitt Romney over Democratic presidentBarack Obama in 2012.[ 200]
Outside and party spending reached large levels in several House districts compared to what has been spent in the past as Republican groups focused their attention on the House rather than statewide races. In some races, spending reached $500,000.[ 199]
Turnout was the lowest in more than 20 years, with slightly over 50 percent of eligible voters having voted. Turnout across the state was lower compared to 2010. It was slightly lower in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs, helping suburban DFL candidates win in those areas. In rural Minnesota, turnout was down by about 10 percentage points since 2010. Much of the drop-off was among DFL voters, while those who did vote in those districts were likely over the age of 45.[ 201]
