It looks like the race for Minnesota governor is headed to a recount. DFL candidate Mark Dayton holds a very narrow 9,057 vote lead over Republican Tom Emmer. 100 percent of the precincts have reported. The small margin points to an automatic recount. The GOP also took control of the Minnesota House and Senate.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Minnesota Public Radio News politics reporter Tom Scheck about the situation.
