In a crucial state House race in the Twin Cities metro area, voters are heading to the polls to determine the balance of power in the chamber. The election in District 40B has been a long saga, with Republican Paul Wikstrom temporarily holding a one-seat advantage after a judge ruled that DFL candidate Curtis Johnson couldn’t take office due to not living in the district. If Democrat David Gottfried wins, the chamber will be tied at 67-67, but if Wikstrom prevails, the GOP will have a one-seat majority to advance their agenda. The outcome of this election will have a significant impact, as this district’s representation will affect decisions beyond its borders. Polls close at 8 p.m. as voters await the results that will shape the political landscape in Minnesota.
