I just thought absentee and early voting ballots were posted first. Evidently not.

Democratic-Farmer-Labor Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan 380,268 68.54%
The other state-wide races look similar to that
I just updated my thread. I may do so several times tonight.

In the end, it wasn't even close. The Republican candidate in SD 50 spent $150,000, including a TV ad. We all had a good laugh about that tonight.
