Hennepin County Auditor Jill Alverson says that Tom Emmer's recount petition ignores a longstanding interpretation of election law in Minnesota in order to achieve a "suspect goal."
The most direct quote:
"Any additional reconciliation lacks any factual support and would serve only to add confusion, delay, and uncertainty in the service of an exceedingly suspect goal of randomly removing properly cast ballots of fully eligible voters. Randomly disenfranchising eligible voters after the fact is a statutory remedy that should be used only in the narrowest of circumstances and then only after careful, transparent and deliberate study. It should not be done based on one-sided affidavits hastily submitted under the appellate court's limited jurisdiction."
