Emailing with Scott Johnson this morning, he offers this response to the Washington Post editorial praising the Minnesota recount:

I disagree with the Post’s advocacy of early voting, but Minnesota’s absentee ballot system is used in place of it. The big issue for me is the fact that Minnesota’s same day voter registration facilitates voter fraud. The number of illegal voters in Minnesota on election day could easily have run one hundred times Al Franken’s current 225 vote margin over Senator Coleman. Yet when any serious reform of same day voter registration is discussed, Democrats treat illegal voters like a core constituency, as I believe they are. Would requiring a picture ID be too much? To talk about the Coleman-Franken race as the Post does without discussing the need to protect the integrity of the ballot is a joke.
