| seriously, you see people like jon stewart and bill maher joke that canada gets their elections done efficiently and in 1 day every time because the american government is slow and stupid and doesn`t do things correctly with all the machines and weird ballots
this is the real reason, americans are morons, this proves it. |

| haha I live in MN also. Some of those ballots that are challenged are ridiculous.. Although the folks that voted on each one really didn't do what they were supposed to so this would not happen. I am sick of this recount crap. I don't like Al Franken - he's a fekking pig. |

Well, I hope you understand that most of us instantly translated your word into.. the actual word.
Also, how is what Franken is doing here bad? The vote difference is incredibly small. Any sane man would ask for a recount, and, regardless, there is legally supposed to be one anyway.
As for challenging the ballots, both campaigns are going at this scorched earth style. There`s nothing normative here. It`s politics. |

| they need to just toss out every vote that isn`t clear. like if you took a scantron test in college or high school. you don`t get the points for the question if you don`t bubble it in correctly. |

| I think most of these voters should be rejected from the voting process. If you don`t have enough intelligence to fill in a circle with a pen next to a name, your vote doesn`t count. We don`t let kids vote, right? Why let motards vote? |

| Good point dmikon, after this, maybe people in Minnesota should be at least 25 years old before they vote - perhaps offer a special training program for a year that they can take beginning at 21 and upon completion (ability to FILL IN A FREAKIN BUBBLE) they can register to vote as early as 22! |

I think you`re assuming that mostly younger people are making these mistakes. I would argue that your assumption is (at the least) partially wrong. |

| hahah true, well instead of putting in an age ceiling for voting - might as well set in motion the correct education for voting... |

As for the self-censorship issues, those of us who share Apricoth`s disapproval of the F-bomb appreciate her actions. |
