MN DAILY: “NOT A U.S. SENATE DECISION”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | December 1, 2008
“The State Canvassing Board recently decided to deny Al Franken’s request to factor properly rejected absentee ballots into Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race recount, and it subsequently became clear that Franken will use all of his resources to fight the election battle, including pushing for U.S. Senate involvement.
Observers are discussing the possibility of U.S. Senate involvement in selecting a candidate based on their ‘qualifications’ — a measure that was used in two prior senatorial elections.
If the U.S. Senate becomes involved in the selection process, the fundamental principals of American politics will be jettisoned. The election process is a way for the public to elect a representative, not for a candidate to be selected by a conglomerate of elected officials.” Source: MN Daily, November 30, 2008
