Following the 2000 election controversy many Americans screamed about problems with our ballot counting systems. Eight years later not much has improved as evidenced by the Franken-Coleman mess in Minnesota.
That dispute has ended. Franken will be seated by order of the Minnesota Supreme Court. My opinion of the comedian turned politician aside, it was time for a resolution.
Now I am waiting to hear the screams about the problems with our ballot counting systems as a result of the Franken decision……………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………Still waiting.

Minnesota=Florida? Logic?
And you are surprised because….?
Perhaps a better way to settle that deal would have been a run-off election a few weeks afterwards. The results would have been much different than the original election, due to the “riding the coattails” (is that even a word) effect Obama had on the public voting. But that’s not the playing field that’s in effect in Minnesota, so no use in speculating what may or may not have happened.

All the ballots were reviewed in Minnesota–not so in Florida.
