DISQUS

What patronizing nonsense. Minnesota is neither a banana republic, nor Florida. It's process and personnel are among the best to be found anywhere. Everyone wants this to be over, but the election really is that close and there's nothing to do but keep counting. The unanimous rulings from the tri partisan commission is a good sign that things are proceeding fairly and according to the rules.

Pre-existing election rules are only to be adhered to when they favor the Democratic candidate. If that is not the case, then 'all-the-votes' (which is like saying 'it is for the children'), well, 'all-the-votes' in a manner most likely to help the Democratic candidate, should be counted. If all that fails, try to get the Senate to overrule the election board.

That, in a nutshell, is the Franken strategy.

And no, Minnesota is not Florida. They seem to be even worse.

Finally, this is all just an intellectual exercise, at least as far as determining the 'true' winner. As with Florida, there is no way to know for sure who won, as the final difference in votes between the candidates is well within the margin of error of ANY initial count and/or recount methodology.
