Down by 9,057 votes with all precincts reporting, Republican governor candidate Tom Emmer just put out this statement:
With nearly 100% of precincts reporting, this race is still too close to call. The margin that currently separates Senator Dayton and me is currently within the automatic recount trigger. There is a process in law that will ensure that we arrive at a conclusive result, ensuring that all valid votes are counted and the will of the voters is met.
Separately, Gov. Tim Pawlenty also noted, "there is a process in place to provide the people of Minnesota with a final result as quickly as fairness and the law allows."
MPR reporter Tim Nelson has put together an excellent list of frequently asked questions and answers on a recount.
