MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - There have been only a few glitches in today's voting across Minnesota. Voting machines in a small number of Minneapolis precincts had mechanical problems. Voters were still allowed to complete ballots and they are being stored in a safe place until they can be counted.

Bad Ballots Distributed in Duluth
DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Election officials in Duluth have replaced a bad ballot that was briefly supplied to voters in one precinct.

Voters who got the bad ballot could write in Erik Simonson, who replaced Gauthier on the ballot.
