Per MPR, the DFL has picked up a seat in today's special election.

Democrat David Gottfried defeated GOP opponent Paul Wikstrom in a Tuesday special election to fill a vacant House seat representing Roseville and Shoreview.

The Associated Press called the race about 30 minutes after polls closed. The unofficial results will require certification before Gottfried joins the House.

The result brings the House into a tie – with 67 Republicans and 67 Democrats – and prompts a reset at the Capitol under a bipartisan power-sharing agreement reached earlier this year. That means the House will refocus on bills that have bipartisan backing.

Disclaimer: as of this posting the Secretary of State's website is not showing results.

Shortly after posting the SoS site put up the totals (100% reporting):

Republican Paul Wikstrom 3,966 29.75%
Democratic-Farmer-Labor David Gottfried 9,352 70.15%
