People who voted here in Mn. for Wellstone on the absentee ballot CAN RE-VOTE again if the word gets out....

Of the 80,000 absentee ballots that have been mailed, those returned are valid and will not be replaced as codified in state law.

Those that have not returned their ballots may either write in the name of whoever the Dem's put up OR exchange them for new ballots.

Problem is, MANY of those that vote(d) absentee are already out of town or are unable to replace their ballots.

This group of votes will be influential.

ANOTHER POINT OF INTEREST is that one of Wellstone's children is named...........PAUL JR!

If they tap him for the nomination there will not be ANY NEED to provide supplemental ballots because the name on the ballot will be IDENTICAL! So, the absentee ballots would be "accurate" and the continuity would be seamless albeit dubious.

I smell however, a serious lawsuit if his namesake ends up on the ballot.
