There are so many questions swirling around the 2008 Minnesota senatorial race, yet to be decided.
Aside from obvious questions, such as how could anyone in their right mind vote for that vulgar boob Al Franken, the pertinent issues deal with how disputed races are decided. And if you think this isn't your business, guess again. A decision for Franken could swing the whole senate into the Dems' favor, making it filibuster-proof. That can affect your taxes in a big way. Even bigger, it can affect the social policy of the US for a generation.
If you look to the upper left, you'll see a picture of a ballot reviewed by the Canvassing Board that looks like a vote for Norm Coleman, the Republican candidate. Nope, the Minnesota canvassing board determined voter intent to be for Franken. How can this be? You got me. I just hope the Minnesota Repubs have a lot of cash for the ensuing legal battle, because the Dems are stealing this one right in front of our eyes.
FOXNews.com - Ballot Madness: Tipping the Scales in Minnesota's Senate Recount - Opinion:
"The vote pickup has occurred through two actions by the board — divining voter intent and determining what votes should be counted. While decisions to include missing or overlooked ballots have gotten the most attention, the process of determining intent has also been important in determining the outcome here."
