I have a feeling we will still be reading about this in July.  Anyway, there is a rather lenghtly article in today’s Minnesota Star Tribune<\/a> today concerning the ongoing recount.  Remember, when the voting ended and the machines were tallied, Norm Coleman led by 200+ votes.  Now Al Franken is in the lead, although the amount of that lead varies according to who is reporting it.  I would like to point out that the change in the lead has to do with the interpretation of ‘voter intent’.  Fox News ran pictures on their website of some of the ballots that had been counted by county officials trying to interpret ‘voter intent’.  The interpretations of these ballots was not consistent–there were not standards–and some of the counting was totally amazing.  If there was an “x” next to Norm Coleman’s name, the ballot was counted for Al Franken.  Nevermind that there were more than two names on the ballot.  If they were unwilling to count the vote for Coleman, why did they think it belonged to Franken?  When the process moved from machines to people, it lost its objectivity.  I wish Minnesota luck in getting honest elections back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
