Mischief in Minnesota? - WSJ.com
Wouldn't you think we could have a voting system where these things just couldn't happen?
We can remotely fly airplanes on the other side of the world, drive remote vehicles on Mars, and have credit cards and EZ Passes that work as we pass by.
Oh, there it is. I just remembered that governments run the elections...

The Wall Street Journal reports:
"According to conservative statistician John Lott, Mr. Franken's gains so far are 2.5 times the corrections made for Barack Obama in the state, and nearly three times the gains for Democrats across Minnesota Congressional races. Mr. Lott notes that Mr. Franken's 'new' votes equal more than all the changes for all the precincts in the entire state for the Presidential, Congressional and statehouse races combined (482 votes).
This entire process is being overseen by Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, who isn't exactly a nonpartisan observer. One of Mr. Ritchie's financial supporters during his 2006 run for office was a 527 group called the Secretary of State Project, which was co-founded by James Rucker, who came from MoveOn.org. The group says it is devoted to putting Democrats in jobs where they can 'protect elections.'"
