2010 Minnesota Governor’s Race
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Mark Dayton has been voted the first DFL governor-elect in 24 years, beating Republican Tom Emmer by a final margin of fewer than 10,000 votes out of more than 2 million cast.
However, the exceedingly slim margin – less than half of one percent – will trigger an automatic recount.
