Posted by AMoreira81 on Mon Jan 5 13:04:53 2009, in response to Minnesota, posted by Charles G on Mon Jan 5 12:59:38 2009. What could be done in the case of Minnesota is to adopt a runoff rule...here, the third-party candidate got 437K votes, which is 3 orders of magnitude and then some more than the margin of victory.However, in this case, the judges deciding the election should have favored Coleman if trends held, as they were mostly Republican. The real question to ask is: Why did Coleman lose so many votes to Dean Barkley, the third-party candidate? As for Franken, he will probably serve only one term; 57 percent of Minnesotans didn't want him. |
