![]() | Al Franken Narrows Gap In Recount Rehearsal A post-election ballot review of five randomly selected precincts in Ramsey County yielded one more vote for DFL candidate Al Franken and one less vote for Republican incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman. The two-vote swing, in what represents a small fraction of the entire vote in Ramsey County, may not be reflected in the Secretary of State's running tally for days or even weeks. The ballots are being recounted, not as part of an anticipated state-wide recount in the US Senate race between Franken and Coleman, but as part of normal ballot review done after every election to determine if the optical-scan voting machines recorded accurately. Many are looking to the post-election ballot review to provide an indication of how the impending state-wide recount may go. All eyes are on the ballots that are improperly marked. Minnesota has well-established voter intent laws which allow election judges and election managers to determine whether mis-marked ballots show clear intent for one candidate or another. Many of the improperly marked ballots contain an "X" or check mark in the optical-scan sheet's "bubble." The optical-scan machines have proven to be very effective. In Ward 3 Precinct 5- there were 14 ballots that had been put in the "questionable" pile meaning they were not sure if the optical scanner had read them correctly because they were marked with an X or not fully filled in. Upon further review, 13 of those 14 ballots were counted correctly by the optical scanner. Of the five randomly selected precincts that were audited in Ramsey County, the results are as follows: * St. Paul Ward 3 Precinct 13: + 1 vote for Franken * St. Paul Ward 6 Precinct 5 :+ 2 votes for Franken, and a 1 vote loss for Coleman * St. Paul Ward 7 Precicnt 14: + 2 votes for Franken * St. Paul Ward 3 precinct 5 : 1 vote loss for Franken, +1 vote for Coleman * Roseville Ward 2 : 3 vote loss for Franken, 1 vote loss for Coleman * Net change +1 vote for Franken, -1 vote for Coleman = 2 vote swing for ... |
![]() | St. Louisans travel to Iowa for Barack Obama I spent 11 hours on a bus yesterday riding to and from Iowa to campaign in a snow storm for Barack Obama. I was one of 130 St. Louisans — including a statewide elected official, two state senators and a former mayor — that made the long trek on a snowy Saturday morning because we believe Senator Obama is the best person to restore America's promise of hope and greatness. After I get a bit more rest, I'll piece together some video and photos from the trip for you all to see. But here are a few thoughts about the journey. First, it was remarkable to see the wide range of people whose lives Obama has touched and to whom he brings personal inspiration. It was former St. Louis mayor Vince Schoemehl who told the rest of our group yesterday that every generation has a great and inspirational leader — in the same tradition as Presidents J.F.K. and F.D.R. For this generation, he said, that man is Barack Obama. Along with Mayor Schoemehl, other believers on board included State Auditor Susan Montee from St. Joe, MO; State Senators Maida Coleman and Jeff Smith (St. Louis City); St. Louis Aldermen Kacie Starr Triplett (6th Ward) and Sam Moore (4th Ward); Northwoods Alderman Errol Bush; Committeewoman Yaphett El-Amin (1st Ward); and dozens of students, professionals, educators, teens, and homemakers. |
