Is it inevitable that the Minnesota race will be decided at courts?
Can't the courts decide that the margin is too big to be reversed and toss the case out?
Dayton's lead is so much bigger than the 2008 race that it's not likely a repeat of that will happen. The only reason Coleman could keep delaying the race forever was because there was enough rejected absentee ballots that it was mathematically possible for him to overtake Franken via them (though not possible in any conceivable scenario.) The rejected absentees (about 3000) is far smaller than Dayton's lead, so if Dayton keeps the same lead after the recount Emmer has no grounds to sue. Also Ritchie took special actions to make things smoother to avoid such a scenario again.
