2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota, District 2
Commentators wrote that the election was "likely to be one of the most-watched congressional races in the country," (MinnPost), "expected to be one of the most competitive in the country", according to Roll Call newspaper, and "seen as a prime target for Democrats to flip" according to The Atlantic.


2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota, District 2
Area left-wing weekly City Pages described the campaign as resembling the 2016 presidential campaign, calling Lewis  "an entrepreneur and media personality, whose blunt rhetoric is refreshingly honest to some, simply offensive to others",  and describing Craig as "a tough female leader with moderate positions, ties to big business, and a penchant for pantsuits".


2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota, District 2
In May 2016, the Rothenberg and Gonzales Political Report changed its rating of the race from "pure tossup" to "tossup/tilt Democratic," with political analyst Nathan Gonzales writing that Craig "is probably to the left of the district in her ideology, but she has a good story to tell, is raising considerable money (she had $1.3 million in the bank at the end of March) and is solid as a candidate." Other political prognosticators rated the race "Republican Toss-up" (Charlie Cook), and "pure" toss-up (Larry Sabato's "Crystal Ball"), according to MinnPost.

2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota, District 8
Though Nolan's margin of victory in 2016 (2,009 votes) was too large to trigger a publicly funded automatic recount, Mills, as of late November 2016, has said that he plans to request and pay for a hand recount of all votes cast in the eighth district, as is his right under law. Mills plans to cover the cost of the recount—just over $100,000— himself.


2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota, District 8
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Minnesota has not seen a recount in a race for the House of Representatives since the year 2000, when election day totals in Minnesota's 2nd congressional district fell within the half percentage point threshold, thus triggering a state funded recount. It is not known if Mills's request for a privately funded recount has precedent in Minnesota's electoral history, at least as it pertains to elections for the House of Representatives.
