Republican Tom Emmer talked about his effort to review vote counting procedures ahead of a statewide recount for governor during a brief appearance tonight on Twin Cities Public Television's Almanac.
It was his first TV interview since the election. Emmer, who's trailing DFLer Mark Dayton by 8755 votes, said his involvement in the recount is making sure the letter of the law is being followed.
"We need to make sure that the process that's set in law is followed, and then let's live with the results," Emmer said.
The feature examines statements made by Minnesota politicians and checks them for accuracy. Based on data analysis, document reviews and interviews with non-partisan analysts, statements are rated either true, false or inconclusive. PoliGraph is a collaboration between Minnesota Public Radio News and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.
