Another Close Election, Another Sleepless Night for David Schultz
Minnesota loves a recount. In 2008 the Franken/Coleman recount spilled deep into 2009. In 2010, the Dayton/Emmer gubernatorial race was too close to call. Professor David Schultz is present for all of it. On election night he was on Kare11 news covering the recount possibility late into the evening. Look for David in print over the coming weeks and read his blog for more information on the recount and the 2010 election. |
