Minnesota election results

https://electionresults.sos.state.mn.us/20221108

From the Secretary of State’s website.

Only 12 counties and 1% of precincts reporting. The evil empire’s lead can’t hold, or I’m screwed.

9:15 pm. The results just flopped to Dems. The early votes must be in.

I just thought absentee and early voting ballots were posted first. Evidently not.

that they've taken to holding the results until same day are counted due to some people trying to raise questions about how the initial counts came in so quickly in 2020 while the rest of the counting takes a while.

I have no idea if that's accurate but it sounds like something a certain political party might try to make an issue of.

Walz appears to be outperforming Trump's 2020 margins (at least in Rice Co.)
2022 (91% in )
Walz 52.1%
Jensen 44.5%

Trump 2020
Biden 48.8%
Trump 48.9%

remained in DFL hands (this Bloomington & Richfield)

In the end, it wasn't even close. The Republican candidate in SD 50 spent $150,000, including a TV ad. We all had a good laugh about that tonight.
