. Mortensen had defeated him narrowly in 2020.
Republican Aaron Paul, a police officer and former school resource officer, ran a very close race against Tabke. Initial results showed Tabke as winning by 0.06%, with a 14-vote margin, a result close enough to warrant an automatic recount. The recount confirmed his victory, extending his lead to 15 votes.
The Republican Party is challenging this result in court due to 21 missing absentee ballots. 21 more absentee voters were checked in than the number of ballots received in Shakopee, 20 of them in Precinct 10. The Scott County Attorney's investigation showed that those ballots were likely in-person early votes, thrown out in error on the first day of absentee ballot counting. Excepting these ballots, Shakopee Precinct 10 voted in favor of Tabke by around 200 votes or 15 percentage points. Voters were identified, and at the trial in December, six voters testified that they had voted for Tabke, while six testified they had voted for Paul. On the first day of session, the judge ruled in favor of Tabke, denying the request for a special election.
