Flying Spaghetti Monster makes Minnesota recount appearance

The UpTake, live streaming Thursday’s Minnesota State Canvassing Board meeting on the U.S. Senate recount, featured a ballot cast for the candidate, Flying Spaghetti Monster. The Coleman campaign challenged the ballot because FSM was written in for Soil and Water Conservation Supervisor, although the oval beside Franken’s name was clearly filled in; the vote went to Franken. Moments earlier, the board reviewed the infamous vote cast for Lizard People. Minnesota’s most famous ballot was designated an overvote.
