US Politics Daily@uspoliticsdailyJake Johnson, a math teacher from Rochester, announced he had won early Wednesday in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District, though official results still need review by canvassing boards. He leads Finstad by just 323 votes, or 0.1%, and Finstad had not conceded as of Wednesday.
That margin is small enough for the losing candidate to ask for a recount paid with public money, although Minnesota has no rule forcing one to happen automatically. Johnson's campaign says his lead would hold up under a recount, which would mean checking every ballot by hand.
