This is a map of precinct-level differences in vote share between the DFL's statewide candidates (Senator Franken, Governor Dayton, and the other constitutional officers) and the DFL's candidates for the Minnesota House of Representatives. In bluer precincts, legislative candidates over-performed the statewide candidates; in oranger precincts, legislative candidates underperformed the statewide candidates. Each precinct has opacity set according to the number of votes cast in it relative to the rest of the state.
