There has finally been a winner declared in the Minnesota senate race between Al Franken and Norm Coleman. After exactly two months of counting ballots, Franken has been declared the winner by a mere 225 votes. It is rediculous that in 2009, with all the technology we have, we still have problems when it comes to electing our political figures. After the disaster in Florida during the presidential election of 2000, I thought we would never see this again. But sure enough the old motto stands true, that history repeats itself. Coleman's campaign will probably challenge the decision, considering they beleive that 650 rejected absentee ballots should have counted. When will we have an electoral system in this country that does not fail us?
