Minnesota Ballots and Civics Quizzes
These are a couple of things I had fun with over the weekend, courtesy of the folks at Daily Kos.As you know, Minnesota is currently in the middle of a recount due to a very close race between DFLer Al Franken and that other guy, who one hopes loses his U.S. Senate seat.
Scores of ballots are under dispute, and Minnesota law is very clear that if the intention of the voter can be deciphered, then the vote will count.
See some examples here and choose if you think the vote should be counted and for whom.
When you're done voting over there, go take this civics quiz. Apparently, the average score of the elected officials (US) who took the quiz was only 44%. Ordinary citizens scored an average of 49%. Yikes. Only 33 questions, and a great ego-boost to those progressive lovers of the U.S. Constitution.
Go here to try your hand at the quiz.
