Boy you are starting to sound like a talking point. I think I'm beginning to understand what you mean when you reference that.

I've been calling for a new election since this BS started. With that many people to have an election THAT close.... seems like the only way to get it right. We all discussed the costs of doing that, but this process sure as hell can't be cheap either.

So you want a "mulligan" or a "do-over" when elections are that close? What if it is that close a second time?

The election review procedures in state laws are to mitigate the need for do-overs in as fair and transparent manner as possible. The process in MN has been recognized as better than most states.

Whoopdie-doo. If this is "better than most" then we're really screwed.

What dont you like about a process that gives both candidate the opportunity to exercise a means to challenge the results...first with the state elections board and then, if necessary through the state courts?
