^ Typically MN will vote in any idiot with a "D" behind his name. They even voted for Dukakis!
I hope this does not end up proving that point, though. Pretty shady goings on, right now.
MN has a law that votes are to be tallied "by intent of the voter" as opposed to by voters that followed the voting rules. Some people circled the name of the candidate, some filled in both ovals then crossed one out, etc. etc. Now judges have to decide who these people "meant" to vote for. It's totally insane.
The fact that Franken's tally is increasing so much when factoring in these types of ballots, it seems fair to conclude most of the complete idiots who voted in this election voted for Franken. So at least he got the moron vote, and that's something he can always hold on to.
