MN Ballots

Al Franken is closing the gap in MN, he may even be ahead. With this back on my radar, it reminds me of this great MPR series on challenged ballots. Not to pick on Franken (I hope he wins), but check this one out:

The Franken campaign challenged this ballot. Even though the voter filled in the bubble next to Barkley’s name, a Franken representative said what appear to be eraser marks over Franken’s bubble indicated the voter intended to vote for Franken. (MPR Photo/Curtis Gilbert)

That one might be the most egregious, but there’s plenty of shame to go around.
