NATIONAL GOVERNOR/OTHER RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yeah I'm not worried about Dayton.

The issue was that a bunch of votes in Hennepin were double counted.

Me and Snowguy told you about Dayton.

Well there's going to be a mandatory recount. Dayton's lead is far larger than the margin in 2008, so it's unlikely it'll get to that level, but it'll happen regardless.

FYI the constitution states that if it can't be resolved in time like in 2008, Pawlenty stays as Governor until it's done (ugh). However I won't worry too much about that as Pawlenty probably doesn't want that to happen more than anyone else out there.

The recount will start around Thanksgiving.

What type of person voted for both Brown and Cooley? Makes little sense.

If Cooley wins Brown should just have his suede denim secret police eliminate him.

redcommander is another one who'll obviously be taken off by the suede denim secret police.

Dayton declared the winner:

Even if all of Emmer's challenges are successful, he will still be roughly 8000 votes behind. So on what grounds will he sue?
And even then isn't it more likely than not that the courts will throw out his lawsuit as frivolous? 

He and the local GOP leaders are basically screaming "VOTE FRAUD!" with nothing backing it up. Probably something about that if he sues.
