Minnesota's 1st District: Johnson Declares Victory With a 321-Vote Lead, Incumbent Finstad Calls for a Recount
There is a new development in Minnesota's 1st Congressional District. Democratic candidate Jake Johnson, a retired teacher, has declared victory over Republican Representative Brad Finstad. Election analysis put Johnson's lead over Finstad at 321 votes.
Finstad has called for a recount. Analysts noted that with all the votes in, a recount is unlikely to change even this small lead. In an earlier count, Johnson had led by 679 votes with approximately 4,100 votes reported outstanding.
Finstad represents the New Ulm area in southern Minnesota. If confirmed after the recount, the result would be one of the seats flipped by Democrats in this midterm election.
