Less than eight hours before the polls close, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke to two reporters live from polling locations about what they heard from voters about ultra-competitive races.

In Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District, MPR News reporter Sarah Thamer spoke about the region’s race for U.S. House that is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in the state. Three-term Democratic incumbent Rep. Angie Craig is facing a challenge from former federal prosecutor and Republican nominee Joe Teirab. The district comprises much of the south metro area, but also stretches deep into rural south-central Minnesota.

Cathy also spoke to MPR News reporter Dan Kraker, who spent the morning at two townships in northern Minnesota: Midway and Thomson townships. Both of those townships saw an extremely close 2020 presidential race. Midway Township is also voting on an extremely competitive race for the Minnesota House, which would help decide control of the Minnesota Legislature.
