The 1944 United States presidential election in Minnesota took place on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election . Voters chose 11 electors, or representatives to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president.
Minnesota was won by the Democratic candidate, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt won the state over New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey by a margin of 62,448 votes, or 5.55%. Nationally, Roosevelt was re-elected to an unprecedented fourth term as president, with 432 electoral votes and a comfortable 7.5% lead over Dewey in the popular vote. However, Roosevelt would not serve the entirety of his fourth term, as he died within a half-year after winning his final election.
Roosevelt was the only president of the United States who was elected to more than two quadrennial terms. The 22nd Amendment , ratified on February 27, 1951, ensures that Roosevelt will continue to hold this record indefinitely, as the said amendment prohibits any person from serving more than two and a half terms as president.
