Minnesota’s State Legislature Is Tied with 20 Ballots Missing

The Sentinel mentioned the Minnesota state legislature election. One seat kept Republicans from controlling the legislature. The Democrats won by 14 votes, but 20 (not 21) ballots had gone missing.

With this election, the state legislature is tied. the ballots were lost in Shakopee and were “likely disposed.”

The city was also very slow to count. City staff inaccurately reported the number of ballots matched.

It is unlikely they will be found. They were probably thrown out with the envelopes. The ballots were probably never taken out of the envelopes.

They need a new election.

I just can’t conceive that any election is this close. Just like with the presidential elections, and just about every other election, it’s always 49/51. How is this feasibly possible? Millions of people voting, yet somehow it’s almost always even down to the wire?
