Aaaack! Chain of custody for the ballots!!

[clear eye]

Since the recount won't take place for around 10 days, what's going on with the ballots? I'm having palpitations. It's not Coleman that I think is a potential thief, but the miserable national Republican machine. Anyone around from the DFL who can tell us about security measures both in transit from each precinct and in storage? Are they stored in each county or all together? Will they be relying on locks and burgler alarms or have they hired human security for the warehouse(s)?

Are your county BOEs or "election divisions" (or whatever you call them) actively looking into the validity of the voters who used provisional ballots? How many of your counties have Republican Chief Election Commissioners (or whatever you call the top county election official)?

Folks, please, "talk me down" as Rachel Maddow would say.
