Minnesota Thy Name Is (worse than) Florida
You gotta love an election system that says if you vote early by absentee ballot, but die before election day, your vote doesn't count, but only if the election officials notice.
On the other hand if you vote early by absentee ballot then later decide to actually vote again in person on election day, no problem. You have broken no laws. Maybe the election people will notice, maybe not.
Oh, and if you are a candidate or a voter and you don't like the result, just file suit and appeal whatever the decision is and the state will patiently refuse to declare a winner until you are completely satisfied with the result.
That's just a snippet of what kind of cockamamie nonsense is going on up north there in Paul Bunyan land. They get up each morning and delude themselves into thinking it's all about being fair. This is the land of goody two shoes and Shirley Temple. Puhleeeeeze!!!!
I never thought I'd actually miss punch cards and hanging chads.

As a Floridian (Palm Beach Co, no less), I second your emotion!
