Peggy Flanagan supporters are making their way into First Avenue in downtown Minneapolis — where the Minnesota Twins are also playing a game tonight. The iconic music club has MS Now on a big screen in front of the stage. Near the coat check, Flanagan supporters are building plates at a build-your-own nacho bar, and snacking on candied bacon and popcorn. Just after polls closed at 8 p.m. the crowd was starting to stream in more consistently.
