This has to be the biggest mess in a governor's race since 1982, when Thompson squeaked by Stevenson III by a few thousand votes.
Before that, the biggest mess was probably the 1962 race in Minnesota. The recount lasted an incredible 139 days. The incumbant, Elmer Andersen, took office - but when the recount was certified, DFL candidate Karl Rolvaag won by just 91 votes out of 1.3 millon. He took office after the recount.
