With so many challenged ballots, the canvassing board is going to end up deciding the election. I believe the board is split between parties, with the Democrat Acorn Sec of State as the tiebreaker in the event of a split...
I think Norm may as well clear out his senate desk now.
So its a razor thin victory for the GOP or the Rats are just trying to make it look fair
Incorrect. The canvassing board consists of Ritchie, the Chief Justice, Justice Barry Anderson, and Judges Kathleen Gearin and Edward Cleary. Both Supreme Court Justices were appointees of Pawlenty, the Chief being his former law partner. Gearin was elected in a non-partisan election a number of years ago and Cleary was appointed by Ventura. Ritchie is a hack. The others are straight-shooters.
