Democrat Dan Feehan has conceded defeat to Republican Jim Hagedorn in the razor-close race for U-S House in the 1st Congressional District in southern Minnesota. Feehan says after all counties checked their results, the final count shows him trailing Hagedorn by point-four-five percentage points. The margin must be a quarter-point or less to trigger a recount paid for by taxpayers. Republicans flipped two U-S House seats (1st and 8th Districts) in Minnesota in the November 6th election, while Democrats took two seats from Republicans (2nd and 3rd Districts).
