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.

A Republican has won a special election in southeast Iowa for a seat in the Iowa House. State Representative Martin Graber of Fort Madison died on January 31 and Blaine Watkins of Donnelson has been elected to replace him.
