Minneapolis officials will begin a recount Friday morning in a City Council race decided by just 19 votes. Democratic Socialist Robin Wonsley Worlobah won the race with a final-round tally of 4,056 votes, defeating DFL candidate Yusra Arab, who received 4,037. Arab requested the recount Monday after making an announcement last week on Twitter. City officials said this is the first time they will conduct a full recount in a race decided by ranked-choice voting. Each challenged ballot goes to the City Council, which acts as the canvassing board that will decide whether to count that vote.
