Minnesota’s 1962 gubernatorial election was the closest statewide race in Minnesota history and one of the closest gubernatorial elections in American history. The election was held on November 6 1962 but the results were not known until March 21 1963. After recounts and court challenges it was determined that then-Lieutenant Governor Karl Rolvaag of the DFL had defeated Governor Elmer L. Andersen Republican by 91 votes out of nearly 1.3 million cast.
