I was curious to see how the Minnesota legislature predictions by AndrewMN and OGGoldy turned out.
Biggest Upsets in Minnesota: These are the races where neither diary predicted the correct winner. Either AndrewMN had Tossup and OGGoldy had the wrong party, or both had the wrong party.
Senate:
District 17, Lyle Koenen (D) over Joe Gimse (R)
District 21, Matt Schmit (D) over John Howe (R)
District 28, Jeremy Miller (R) over Jack Krage (D)
District 49, Melisa Franzen (D) over Keith Downey (R)
District 51: Jim Carlson (D) over Ted Daley (R)
4 "big upsets" for the DFL, 1 "big upset" for the GOP.
House:
District 1B: Deb Kiel (R) over Marc Demers (D)
District 2A: Roger Erickson (D) over Dave Hancock (R)
District 2B: Steve Green (R) over Brita Sailer (D)
District 51B: Laurie Halverson (D) over Doug Wardlow (R)
Both the DFL and GOP had 2 "big upsets."
Bonus: Mary Franson (R) only leads by one vote over Bob Cunniff, that might change in a recount. Both diaries had Franson winning. Any DFLer in Alexandria who didn't vote feels like a really big idiot right now.
