The NY Times has this op-ed from Charles Seife on errors in Minnesota’s election and recount. He suggests that: “After all the counting and recounting, if the vote is statistically tied, the state should invoke the section of the law that requires the victor to be chosen by lot. It’s hard to swallow, but the right way to end the senatorial race between Mr. Coleman and Mr. Franken will be to flip a coin.” Mike Pitts proposed the same thing a while back.
