    Officials tried to track them down, only to learn that they had been sent to the shredder.

    As it stands, Democratic representative Brad Tabke won the race over Republican Aaron Paul in Minnesota’s district 54A, which covers an outer suburban area of Minneapolis.

    The Minnesota house is currently tied 67-67, meanin

      What a shitty process. I mean, what business does a shredder have in the same room with ballots? If you’re gonna destroy something wait until the winner is sworn in at least.

        The article says they were thrown in trash and the were sent to a shredder at the landfill.

          Pretty much the same idea. I think any place that has ballots needs to be secure like it’s the Pentagon or something. Check trash before taking it out, empty pockets, run inventory, the works.

    Wow, that’s close. Ultimately, its unlikely that 20 ballots would sway a 14 vote difference as if I did this right, they’d need 17 of the 20 to win, but that’s too close to people being completely disenfranchised.
