Harry Reid Likely To Decide Minnesota Senate Election
Because the actual vote count totals performed by the official vote counters aren’t to Al Fanken’s liking.
Since the recount in Minnesota is going badly for Al Franken, he is contemplating asking the Senate to intervene. To be sure, the Senate has the Constitutional authority to do so but few things could de-legitimize Franken more than having a Democrat-controlled Senate state that he is the winner when the election officials in the state of Minnesota—no red state, that—seem to think differently. Indeed, who doesn’t think that the Senate would decide the election purely on partisan grounds—especially with Harry Reid at the helm.
So much for “the consent of the governed.”
