Minnesota Recount: Lost in Space

Filed under: Critical Voices | Elections — by Bob Zuber @ 3:55 am

Kevin Duchschere and the staff of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune have been doing daily diligence in thoroughly covering the recount: “There were tense moments Friday in Anoka County and the Duluth area, as election officials went in search of ballots that had disappeared.

Anoka County officials discovered that a Coon Rapids precinct had three fewer ballots than the voting machine printout said should be in the box. The Coon Rapids city clerk and representatives from both campaigns drove to City Hall but didn’t find them. The machine printout and the hand-count of the ballots indicated that the three ballots were votes for Franken.”

Stand With Haiti

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
