This is really a travesty of the democratic process. It appears that Norm Coleman will be unseated by Al Franken in MN. If you read the article you can go through the laundry list of remarkable partisanship and inconsistencies by the state elections board and the AG Mark Ritchie.
When elections are illegitimate, everyone loses. When the results are so tainted by shady dealings and armies of lawyers, people lose faith in the process. The legitimacy of either candidate comes into serious question and will continue to undermine them as they try and do the job that needs to be done.
It will undoubtedly go to court and will just get more distorted from here.
There really need to be national election standards.
