"Democrats are stupid": Good for Al Franken?

[LightBulb]

A discussion of the Minnesota Senatorial recount:

While the conventional wisdom is that these recounted ballots should break the same way as the broader election results, Republicans fret that sloppy Democratic voters might mean Franken votes emerging as the recount continues.

"Democrats are [thought to be] more creative, free-spirited, so the idea is they're more likely to make a mistake that the optical scan won't pick up," explains Hentges. "But when they recount the hard copy, those votes will be counted for Franken. If you talk to Republicans, they say it will be Franken’s advantage, because Democrats are stupid and will screw up ballots more often."
