Republican Tom Emmer, who trails Democrat Mark Dayton in the Minnesota governor's race, plans to make a "recount announcement" Friday morning at the Republican Party headquarters.

Emmer has kept a very low profile since Election Day and even refused to stop to talk to waiting reporters Thursday regarding the recount or anything else.

He will not concede to Dayton at the news conference, according to a source.

But at 10:30 am Friday, Emmer will hold his second news conference since election results were in. The press conference will be at Republican Party Headquarters in St. Paul.
