...Africa - or anywhere outside of Europe - to lead its ever more diverse flock. Vatican insiders are reticent to name names with Benedict so firmly in command, but there are several prominent clerics likely to take Arinze's place as most papabile African, alongside other better known possibilities from Latin America and Asia who might one day become Pope.

One of those fifth-pile votes, the Franken camp discovered, belonged to Erick Garcia Luna, the chairman of the state Democratic Latino caucus, who voted absentee because he was volunteering the day of the election. Like many people from Latin America, Garcia Luna has two last names, and Minnesotans aren't used to Latin Americans. So it seems logical that some election official looked up his last name under Luna instead of Garcia and determined he wasn't registered, even though he was. Garcia Luna, who just became a citizen...
