Dean Phillips has beaten Erik Paulsen (yay!) and CBS just called it for Angie Craig over Jason Lewis. Ilhan Omar has won the 5th CD, which was a sure thing (I still don't know the name of her opponent, and that's my district!), McCollum holds the 4th, and blue dog Dem Colin Peterson will probably win the 7th again. Looks like the GOP will take the 1st, 6th and 8th but knocking off Lewis and Paulsen is really satisfying. Keith Ellison for AG is currently ahead of anti-LGBT extremist Wardlow. Tim Walz has beaten the pants off Trumpite GOPer Jeff Johnson for Governor by about 16 points, and we've also retaken the state legislature!

Kept both senators and the governor D. And, I hope, changed the power balance in the state house.

AG Ellison is still ahead but with only 75% precinct reporting, lead is shrinking, but hoping for the best.

8. Very well so far, but not every precinct is in.

We might still be looking a true trumpster for AG. Keith Ellison is on the controversial side. EDIT: AP calls it for Ellison!!!

On the plus side, we killed it in the state house, and it's looking almost certain that the governorship will remain democratic.

Big blue swings in the US House races.

Good for us that the opposition was an overt partisan, and he wasn't very good at it. Ellison is going to make for a kick-ass AG for Minnesota.
