Minnesota Primary Elections

A smaller-than-expected turnout of about 11,000 people at the first Democratic weekend caucuses in Minnesota gave Vice President Al Gore a near sweep as anticipated in a binding presidential poll. Gore also was expected to pick up all 20 delegates at stake after a resounding victory Sunday at caucuses in Nevada, where there were even fewer voters. With 14 of 17 counties reporting in Nevada, Gore had 92% of the vote to 8% for Bill Bradley and others.
