Bryant and O'Ferrall were initially seated with certificates of election issued by order of the Minnesota Supreme Court, but Holley and Wells contested the election. On January 6, 1860, the Senate determined that, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of Minnesota which assigned to each house of the legislature the power to judge the elections and qualifications of its own members, the Supreme Court did not have jurisdiction to determine the membership of the Senate. The Senate then determined that Holley and Wells were entitled to the seats.[8][9] | nowrap Шаблон:Party shading/Republican | Henry W. Holley (R) |

Barton, Newell, and Waldhier were initially seated; however, Bixler, Caskey, and Hayes challenged their election on the grounds that the Democrats in the district had engaged in voter intimidation against Republican voters,[12] and illegal votes were cast. On December 29, 1859, the House of Representatives ruled that Bixler, Caskey, and Hayes were rightfully entitled to the seats, and thereby unseated Barton, Newell, and Waldhier.[13][14][15] | nowrap Шаблон:Party shading/Republican | Moses Bixler (R) |

Notes
- ↑ Alonzo J. Edgerton was a Republican during his service in the 19th and 20th Minnesota Legislatures,[6] as well as during his short service in the 47th United States Congress. However, the Minnesota Staats-Zeitung listed him as a Democrat in 1859,[3] he ran for Congress in 1860 as a Breckenridge Democrat and, during his service in the 2nd Minnesota Legislature, tended more often than not to vote with the Democrats on party-line votes,[7] indicating that he was a Democrat prior to 1861, and likely changed party affiliations in response to the secession of the Southern states and the American Civil War.
