...Minnesota history, one notable recount case stands above all others. In the state's 1962 gubernatorial race, incumbent Elmer L. Andersen lost by a narrow margin of less than 200 votes to challenger Karl Rolvaag (out of 1.26 million votes cast). Andersen asked for a recount, which required some 100 teams of ballot reviewers to fan out across the state. The recount took 139 days, and the final tally gave the election to Rolvaag by 91 votes, but not before Andersen had already been sworn in as governor - albeit provisionally.

Andersen ’08, who helped plan the weekend. “We sort of say that we’re on an edutainment model.” Although ROFLCon was created largely through the efforts of Harvard students, the conference was forced to move down Mass...
...fades quickly. After a congressional hearing or two, the ratings agencies have always been allowed to go their merry and profitable way. And why not? Inability to see into the future isn't a crime, plus there has usually been someone else available to take the fall--like Arthur Andersen in the Enron case...
