Kerry Looses an Electoral Vote! Down to 251!
Kerry Losses an Electoral Vote!

Defeated Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry likely is going to get one less electoral vote nationally than he should have -- 251 instead of 252 -- because of an apparent mistake Monday by one of Minnesota's 10 DFL electors.

One of the 10 handwritten ballots cast for president carried the name of vice presidential candidate John Edwards (actually spelled "Ewards" on the ballot) rather than Kerry.

Loss of one vote unlikely to be critical. Its Ohio that will make or break
I attribute that MN thing as a simple oops.

6. Attributed to a "senior moment"

Since our electors here in Minnesota are just slightly younger than jesus.

(60 - 83 yrs old)


Le Sigh.... another minne-fucking-sota embarassment. We're sorry, we really are!

8. And some here think that paper ballots will create a perfect election
Edited on Wed Dec-15-04 04:54 PM by Freddie Stubbs
Which of course will not happen as long as people are involved in the process.

11. For the first time in my life, I wish my name was "Ewards."
Actually having my own Electoral vote. Wow.

That would be better than having a star named after me!

I don't turn the other cheek.
