Minnesota Supreme Court hears arguments over rejected absantee ballots
December 17, 2008 - MPR’s Elizabeth Stawicki reports on arguments to the Supreme Court regarding ejected absantee ballots.
An attorney for Norm Coleman's re-election campaign told Minnesota Supreme Court justices that the idea the estimated 1600 rejected absentee ballots in the Senate recount fit neatly into a category is an illusion. The court heard arguments on the campaign's petition to stop counties from adding wrongly rejected absentee ballots to their recount totals; or at least set uniform rules as to how counties should open and count those ballots.
