Experts review 50 challenged ballots

Updated: December 15, 2008 - 3:22 PM

At the Star Tribune’s request, two retired judges and a former secretary of state reviewed copies of 50 challenged ballots in the Minnesota U.S. Senate race, and said how they would award each vote. These ballots were selected because they elicited strong differences of opinion among readers who voted in the Star Tribune Ballot Challenge. View all of the challenged ballots and decide who should get each one.
