Don't Jump to Conclusions About Minnesota

The New York Times correctly points out that it would be completely wrong to conclude from the lengthy, complex, and still undecided Minnesota Senate race recount that Minnesota's election laws are somehow at fault... in fact they are the some of the best laws in the country, and except for a few small episodes (e.g. the 'misplaced' 150 ballots) the recount has been transparent, fair, and accurate. Just because it walks like Florida and talks like Florida doesn't mean it's Florida.
