I don't believe there is an allegation of fraud in the race.
Weren't there precincts that had 100% turnout?

I don't know the facts in detail, but wouldn't be surprised. My point was that in order to fight fraud (which I believe exists in this race), one of the parties in the election contest has to allege the election is tainted with fraud. Absent the allegation, there is an absence of "fighting the fraud."

The whole state was 80%, the highest in the country. People here believe it's their duty to vote, even if they're disgusted with the options; how the hell do you think Jesse Ventura became Governor? In a smaller precinct, especially a rural one, 100% turnout seems quite plausible. Also, believe it or not, a rural district in Minnesota just as likely to have gone for Franken as Colmean, probably moreso. Republican strength in MN is all in the suburbs. I'm really sick of all these comments from out-of-staters who clearly do NOT understand the political culture up here. It's even worse than you could imagine! I've resigned myself to that. I like everything else about living here, so I've made my peace with it.
