There's a solid analysis by MinnPost reporter Jay Weiner on the current gubernatorial recount effort and the Republican lawsuit.
Weiner of course wrote award-winning stories on the Coleman-Franken recount and now has a book out about it called "This is not Florida."
His piece in MinnPost is a solid and enlightening analysis by a journalist who had in-depth knowledge of this issue and the complicated legal proceedings that can surround it. You'll get a feel for the likelihood of success for the GOP court challenge.
He also talks to Blue Earth County's own Patty O'Connor, longtime elections director and on the board of the statewide election officials organization. She provides some interesting insights on his own.
He also provides lots of links to past rulings, current court statements and basically everything you need to understand and get up to speed on this issue.
What I like about Weiner's journalism is that he digs deep into places others don't even know about -- Minnesota administrative rules on elections, for example.
