I'm interested in knowing if Reagan actually did win MN because the margin was so tiny. Maybe they pulled some strings there to avoid the sweep?

If you watch the 1984 election night videos on youtube, the race in MN was called rather quickly by ABC News and with 60% reporting on NBC (you can see the glee in Brokaw's eyes and hear the clapping in background).
