Who will control the Minnesota House of Representatives?
Control of the Minnesota House has changed parties three times in the past five elections and could alter again this year. With a 12-seat lead, the DFL will stay in power even if they are dealt a net loss of five of their 73 seats. If Republicans add seven seats to their current 61, they will return to the power they gained after the 2010 election and lost in 2012. To see where the battle lines will be waged, use this interactive to explore the factors that will influence the outcome, including elections trends since 2004, the most vulnerable seats and district voter choices for president, governor and the marriage amendment.
