2. I heard on NPR yesterday that the election result is smaller than the margin of error
for the election process. When people are involved, there will be a margin of error because people make mistakes. In MN the election the process has a margin of error of about .002 (I'm not sure if that is exact, but it's close), but the election result was smaller than that. That's a problem because small mistakes are magnified because of the closeness of the election.

MN has very honest and well run elections, but not perfect. People make mistakes, but I don't believe there is malice involved as much as many here like to view things that go against any Democrat as a grand conspiracy. There is absolutely no reason to disparage the MN election process or the people who have worked hard to make it work.
