More attention is being focused

More attention is being focused on the absentee voter issue in the Minnesota Senate race. Apparently the Secretary of State’s office is working on a system whereby absentee voters will be allowed to show up at the polls and cast a vote for Mondale if they had mailed in their ballots before Wellstone’s accident. This is, of course, totally contrary to the usual procedure with absentee ballots, and the mechanics would seem to be problematic. We will post further when we have details on the Secretary of State’s plan. Absentee ballots will probably be the main source of controversy if, as I expect, the election is very close.
