I just heard that absentee ballots with votes for Wellstone will not be counted. (I assume that includes those already cast) There is not time to print absentee ballots with Mondale's name on them. If the absentee votes for Coleman are counted, and the race is close, that means that the Republicans could take this Senate seat in spite of the Democrats having a majority of votes. Does anyone see a flaw in my reasoning?

The story I heard was that those who voted early
could vote on election day in that one race - though I
don't know how they'd determine that, secret ballot
and all.
I still think Fritz is gonna take it. And old
Jebbie may be in trouble in Fla they say.

Isn't it very likely that somewhere in the US, an election will be so close (probably a Senate race), and the voting machines and process will be under scrutiny again, and be found inadequate, or unsavory, maybe, since many votes will be cast electronically and can be lost in cyberspace so easy, well...I guarantee something will happen in this 50/50 nation...maybe not in Minnesota, but could be Texas or Maryland or any of the other very close elections that could make the Senate and/or House be George's own...and we are screwed again! The stakes are too high for the Bush team to let the voters decide.
