Well, I have a personal horse in this race.

Looks to me like I will not know if I was actually elected for months, as this issue filters through the courts.

This absentee voting issue is going to be a nightmare.

It would be absolutely unimaginable that votes would be thrown out for a race that has no eligibility issues. They would just count the absentees separately, perhaps making two piles of them (pre and post Wellstone death) and just count all the votes from the other races along with the polling site votes.

No other Florida races were affected by the 2000 vote-divining scandal.

Considering the situation when Carnahan died in the plane crash prior to the election, why didn't EVERY state check their own election laws to see if there was anything needing correction.

Seems to me that this is nothing more than rank opportunism that would be causing howls of indignation if the parties were reversed.

Looking back through the statutes, should the Minnesota Supreme Court follow at least some semblance of the law, the ONLY ballot that would be changed is the US Senate ballot. The prescribed method is to blot out the US Senate ballot on the official ballot, and relist that race and that race only on the supplemental ballot.
