The secretary of state's office will be posting returns here after the polls close at 8 p.m. We'll post as they come in, though everybody can follow along as they like. News sources have been saying it's too close to call and bloggers are trading pictures of postal code violations: in short, it's a special election.
We're hoping that Truthsurfer's assessment holds true:
. . . DFLer Linda Pfeilsticker is a great candidate with wonderful qualities. Her positive and fresh attitude has to factor into the race. I think we might see a change is course with rural Minnesotans.
According to the Rochester Post-Bulletin, turnout is predicted to be low:
House District 28B is an L-shaped, largely rural district that encompasses portions of three counties -- Winona, Goodhue and Wabasha. County auditors reported light absentee voting, an indication of a potentially low turnout.
"It's been very, very quiet. We've had a little over 50 (absentee ballots) for the general election," said Winona County Auditor Cherie MacLennan.
