With 796 out of 798 precincts reporting it looks like the results are Herseth (50.6%) and Diedrich (49.4%)
edwardbanderson had Herseth at 50.5% meaning he was off by just .1% for each candidate.
Since he did not put a total for Diedrich I will assume he meant 49.5%.
jjacinto was the closest of those who listed totals for both candidates--he guessed 51-49% Herseth.
Honorable mentions go to
DaveOinSF (51.1-48.9%)
and James B3 (51.5-49.5% [I know it actually adds up to 101]).
Jeremy Kalin (MN state House candidate) also e-mailed me with his 51.4-48.6% prediction.
While I was originally only intending to donate $20 to the chosen candidate of the winner, I have decided to up the ante.
In honor of Herseth's win (50.6%), I will donate $50.60 to edwardbanderson and jjacinto's chosen candidates.
And I will donate $20.01 each to the candidates of choice for DaveOinSF and JamesB3.
And 20 bucks for Jeremy Kalin to add a DFL seat to the MN State House ....
