You can decide voter intent on these ballots that were challenged. I don't understand why most of these ballots are challenged when you can clearly see the voter intent. :shrug:

1. Most of the challenges are frivolous

Edited on Thu Nov-27-08 11:32 PM by MN Against Bush

I looked at several of those ballots and I only saw a couple that were not clear as to the intent or were not clearly spoiled by an overvote. Many of the challenges are incredibly frivolous, and I wish both campaigns would stop challenging ballots in which the intent of the voter is clear. Coleman is trying to pad his lead and Franken does not want it to look like he is falling behind so his campaign issues a bunch of frivolous challenges as well. Right now it is impossible to tell which candidate is actually in the lead because it all comes down to who has more frivolous ballot challenges.
