What if the 2000 presidential election had hinged not on a diverse, messy, weird and slightly creepy hick state like Florida but on the most organized, practical and cordial one in the Union: Minnesota? What if, instead of going to court after court over hanging chads and butterfly ballots and whether a recount should happen, election officials had just calmly looked at each ballot and tried to figure out what the voter wanted?
That's exactly what's
going on in Minnesota,
where 2.9 million voters left Senator Norm Coleman just 215 votes ahead of
Saturday...
