When Does 'Close' Become Too-Close-to-Call?
- tokenadult 18y agoAs a Minnesota voter, I think the one reason I would have liked a run-off election in the United States Senate race is that there were three major-party candidates running in the race. (Minnesota has three "major" parties by state law, and all three are capable of winning statewide elections.) So it's a little unclear to me how a pure Franken versus Coleman match-up would have come out if a run-off had happened here in Minnesota at the same time as this election cycle's run-off election in Georgia. Georgia knows who its two United States Senators are. Minnesota is still in doubt, months after the general election. I now like run-offs in major statewide races like that, when the margin after the general election is very close.
