Al Franken, the Earl Long of Minnesota politics, seems to have just about everything against him, but he won the last time around, didn’t he? The strategy then was just to keep up the vote recount until he was declared the winner.
It does not matter what the voters may mark upon their ballots. What matters is who is counting the votes.
And the Minnesota Progressives have a stranglehold on the most important precincts in the states, where whole columns of figures can be juggled at will.
Josef Stalin would be so proud.
True, they did just counting until he won, but that does meant it will work again. And certainly not if the margin is several percentage points against him.
