The strib image for the senate shows 33 D and 32 R with 2 not called yet

so how can we declare our win? What if these undeclared are R?

The 2 undeclared are District 35 where Abeler (R) is leading Rehrauer (D) by 116 votes.

The second is District 41 where Seeberger (D) leads Dippel (R) by 321

OK, so we are still in the lead if each grabs a seat..

The difference in District 35 .5% and in District 41 it's .7%. The threshold for an automatic recount is a legislative race is below .5%
Maybe because these two races are so close & they won't really be officially called until the election has been certified?

Dippel's campaign website has been shut down so I'm assuming he did concede. However his campaign facebook page is still up & what a piece of work he is - we dodged a bullet with that one.

This is his FB post from yesterday:

We have the best supporters, volunteers and friends! My wife, Carrie, and our 6 kids were absolute all stars as well. I am so proud of everyone's dedication, sacrifice and efforts to bring freedom to the Capitol. We nearly prevailed with a hurricane force wind in our faces the entire campaign and they still barely won. At a 'bottom of the bucket' minimum, we exposed and stopped a certified RINO turncoat. But this campaign was about something infinitely greater than that. It was about inspiring so many to stand up for TRUTH. To stand for REAL education for our children's futures. It was about giving Minnesotans the opportunity to attain their DREAMS by letting them KEEP their hard earned money in such difficult times. Together, we fought to defeat reckless policies that history has proven to fail EVERY SINGLE TIME, without exception (see Rome). It is not time to make excuses. It is time to reflect, learn, persevere and keep running with the torch of LIBERTY- what made this country unique, beautiful and amazing. We must reject the intolerance, hatred and bigotry of the extreme left, and instead show love and grace and speak the Truth. They try to silence us by calling us childish names and profanities. We are the adults. Don't fall for it. Don't give up. The founding principles of America are worth our Time, Treasure and Sacred Honor. The American Dream is still alive and well. May God bless you!


Based on what I see on Rehrauer's FaceBook page, she does not plan to ask for a recount.
