A Democrat and a Republican are vying for a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives in a special election that could leave the chamber tied or give Republicans a slim majority. A Democrat won the seat by 30 percentage points last November, but a judge later ruled that he did not meet the residency requirements to run for the office.

Voters in a Minnesota House district at the center of a post-election drama have decisively chosen Democrat David Gottfried in a race that leaves control of the House tied.

An existing power-sharing agreement reached last month will keep a Republican speaker in power in the state House.
