Star Tribune Reporter Jennifer Brooks covered the first day of the 8B Minnesota House district recount. Here's what she encountered.

Storified by R. Stassen-Berger · Wed, Nov 28 2012 16:06:32

My first recount! It's like reporter Christmas. With math. http://pic.twitter.com/60wnuz7T · Jennifer Brooks

The recount soundtrack sounds something like this: "Franson." "Franson." "Cunniff." "Cunniff." #Bueller? http://pic.twitter.com/QWy0caU3 · Jennifer Brooks

Are pictures of people recounting ballots getting old? I thought not! http://pic.twitter.com/pIpM0cxw · Jennifer Brooks

They just brought in the last cart of ballots here in the Douglas County recount. #speedcounting http://pic.twitter.com/FibyXZm8 · Jennifer Brooks

Still no shift in the 8B vote totals. Belle River, Leaf Valley, Osakis townships, Miltonia and Nelson recounts done. http://pic.twitter.com/XjxJoLiB · Jennifer Brooks

If anyone from the town of Carlos is watching, all 285 of your votes have been recounted. No change in the results.

— Jennifer Brooks · Wed, Nov 28 2012 09:29:30

Democratic challenger Bob Cunniff picks up one vote in Ida Township. Franson now holds a 10-vote lead in 8B.

— Jennifer Brooks · Wed, Nov 28 2012 10:24:21

Feel the recount excitement! FEEL IT! http://pic.twitter.com/nTM8N4LS · Jennifer Brooks

They just cracked open the last box of ballots in the Douglas County recount. http://pic.twitter.com/mn3yOUF9 · Jennifer Brooks

Rep. Mary Franson, R-Alexandria, picks up a vote in Carlos Township. 8B margin back to 11 votes. Cunniff team challenging.

— Jennifer Brooks · Wed, Nov 28 2012 10:48:12

Final recount table, recounting. http://pic.twitter.com/DWBfLu8m · Jennifer Brooks

Let's all stare at them until they finish counting, shall we? http://pic.twitter.com/FQG2Y4bw · Jennifer Brooks

One recount table is cleared, only three precincts left to count. Douglas County should handle all our recounts. http://pic.twitter.com/uN6eUdKu · Jennifer Brooks

The Douglas County recount is complete. Rep. Mary Franson remains ahead by 11. http://pic.twitter.com/JoXHfGsG · Jennifer Brooks

To recap: Franson picked up one vote, Cunniff picked up one vote. The recount continues in Otter Tail tomorrow.
