The massive process of counting Minnesota's midterm election vote went
smoothly Tuesday, if you don't count the coffee spill that temporarily

The coffee spill happened in a precinct at First Christian Church in

unit, Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer said.

"Our very Minnesota-nice election judges were serving voters coffee,"
she said. Though the disruption was minor, election officials were told
to stop serving coffee, she said.
