GOP lost two: Dan Hall and the open SD44 seat.

DFL Lost two: Matt Little and Dan Sparks

Unless absentee ballot counting radically shifts (and it's not expected to) - GOP control will remain.

From a pro-gun standpoint -- We get crazy anti-gunners in Dan Hall's Seat and the SD44 seat. We replace Matt Little (anti) with a moderate to strong GOP (he did not seek our endorsement and did not return a survey) - and we replace Dan Sparks who was a B typically on guns with an A player.

I'll take it.

I finally found the state election info . The state senate is the only win. I see for the night .
I believe Biden will be far worse than Obama and I fully expect the economy to tank Deeply !

GOP picked up 6 seats in the MN House it looks like as well - cutting pretty deep into the DFL majority -- but not enough to get control. I'll take that as a win as well - we probably have enough seats between GOP + rural DFL in the House to stop any gun control.

Is it still holding? It looks like the Star Tribune has dropped the majority to one IF the projections hold. The uncalled races are almost all R incumbents.

MN is all over Senate wise. GOP has a one seat majority (lost 3 seats, picked up 2)

Pretty certain the Bull moose party was voted in as the majority in all races.
