Minnesota Republicans filed a lawsuit Monday to try to force a rerun of a state House race where the incumbent Democrat won by 14 votes — but in which investigators concluded that election workers probably destroyed 20 valid absentee ballots after failing to count them. It's a race that could determine the balance of power in the Minnesota House, where leaders from both parties are working out the details of a power-sharing agreement that currently presumes a 67-67 tie when the Legislature convenes next month. A Republican victory in a special election could shift that balance to a two-vote, 68-66 GOP majority.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -While many Democrats are calling for a party overhaul after Kamala Harris lost every battleground state to Republican Donald Trump in the presidential election, some party officials insist it could have been worse and are asking for fresh donations. Democratic National Committee chair Jaime Harrison sought to play down the extent of the defeat in a memo on Tuesday.
