Close Elections

  • Convicted Felon Race: For the U.S. Senate seat in Alaska, the current difference is 814 votes after 263,578 counted. (That's the total number of votes cast in a statewide election in Alaska?)
  • Funny Comedian Race: In the U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, the current difference is 206 votes out of 2.9 million counted.
  • Bubba Race: And I heard on the radio this morning, that the alcohol proposition for Roanoke, TX was tied 400-something to 400-something (but I can't find a link.) Edit: Tnanks reader. Story here. Actually it's 789-789.

This is a link to info on Alaska including population of the state. Might answer why there are so few votes. A lot of people live in remote areas and wouldn't leave their "igloo" to get out and vote.

Al Franken is a funny comedian? That's the best oxymoron i've heard all day.
