Mark Dayton today added a familiar name to his recount legal team: Mark Elias, who helped DFLer Al Franken win the 2008 Senate recount.

Dayton's team also filed a response to the GOP petition to the Minnesota Supreme Court. They accuse the Republicans of raising an 11th hour effort to "disrupt and delay the State Canvassing Board certification process through the unwarranted disenfranchisement of voters."

Read their documents here. The arguments start on page 15.
