Recount likely for Bemidji House seat

In Bemidji and across the Leech Lake Reservation, thousands of Minnesotans are still waiting to see who will represent them in St. Paul.

While candidates for Minnesota’s 133 other state House seats are celebrating or bemoaning the outcomes of the Nov. 6 election, in House District 5A the tension has not let up for Democrat John Persell and Republican Matt Bliss. Election night results showed Persell besting Bliss by just eight votes, well within the margin for a recount.
