Will Minnesota run against the national wave of GOP gains?

Mark Ritchie's return to the Minnesota Secretary of State's office may be evidence of that, says the Humphrey Institute's Larry Jacobs. He tells us:

Ritchie winning bucks the trend. I don't want to be premature, but if you're looking for an early indicator...Use a little caution here because there are Minnesota bubble races around the state -- races the DFL should have won.

The DFL loss in MN41B is a prime example, he adds.
