We take our elections pretty seriously? Minnesota law is such that once there's a challenge there are three in-state levels of appeal, and it took this long to get through them all. In some ways it's a very good system, in that no one can reasonably say they haven't gotten a fair hearing. But I sure hope the legislature seriously considers a runoff system for the future.
