Minnesota Senate Race: The Saga Continues

摘要

When conducting the recount, the Minnesota Canvassing Board directed county election officials to reexamine absentee ballots that had been rejected for not complying with state law. Yet the trial court allowed the machine total instead of the hand recount total, once again applying a different recount rule in this Democratic precinct than in every other Minnesota precinct What should have happened in this case (and did not) is that the trial court should have ensured that all of the counties in Minnesota uniformly compUed with the state's rules on absentee ballots when conducting the recount The problem of double-counting should have been thoroughly investigated and corrected.
