Many of the get-out-the-vote efforts are being coordinated through umbrella organizations such as America Votes and Take Action Minnesota. At a rally Wednesday night at the Carpenters hall in St. Paul, Take Action Minnesota Executive Director Dan McGrath said unions and allied organizations expect to reach 250,000 Minnesotans in the final days before the election.

"Get out your mittens and long underwear and go knock on doors!" said Shar Knutson, president of the St. Paul Trades & Labor Assembly, taking note of the unseasonably cold temperatures.
On Nov. 7, Minnesotans will elect a U.S. Senator and eight people to the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as the Governor and other top state officers and the entire Legislature. A number of communities also have local races for city, county and school district offices.
Voters also will consider an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution that would dedicate all of Minnesota\'s existing motor vehicle sales tax revenue to upgrading transportation and transit.
