But, the Iron Range (when it was deep blue) held back reporting their precincts until early the next morning, after it became clear how many votes were needed to put Mondale over the top. The "winning" margin was only about 3,200 votes. Reagan was entitled to an automatic recount, but chose to not embarrass Mondale further.

I would like to see an investigation of any precinct that reports their more than 60 minutes after the polls close, perhaps by sending a registered letter to every voter that allegedly voted to determine if they actually voted.
