If you just can't get enough of the recount...

... you can sign up for periodic email updates from the Secretary of State's office. Here's Recount Update #4. I can see why Ritchie liked the Time article - it's very laudatory (about Minnesota, anyway. It's a little hard on the state of Florida.)

Dear Friends,

We are nearing the end of the amazing recount here in Minnesota - an event that included thousands of citizens in the process.  It has been exciting to see Minnesotans pitch in to make this such a big success.  Some have even seen the humor in it all, such as Time Magazine.  Check out their wonderful piece "Still Counting in Minnesota".

The University of Minnesota recently held a public discussion on "The Minnesota Tradition of Fair Elections" that looked at our 1962 statewide recount of the Governor's race and our 2008 Senate recount.  For highlights click here. 

For the really curious, here's a link to watch the State Canvassing Board live - enjoy!

Warmly,

 

Mark Ritchie
