Rick Hassen: Meet me in St. Louis(?)

Great post from Rick Hassen on where he thinks the greatest potential for election-related litigation that could impact the election... his choice is St. Louis, Missouri. I think he's right on the mark. While the stem cell research Measure 2 looks to be coasting to victory, the Senate race that seems to be tied to it is still neck and neck. All signs point to that seat possibly being the difference in which party has control of the Senate beginning in 2007.

My alternate nominee would be Nashville, Tennessee for similar reasons... the Tennessee Senate race is similarly close, and the Nashville suburbs may end up deciding the race. GOP candidate Bob Corker is from east Tennessee, Democratic candidate Harold Ford, Jr. is from Memphis to the west. That leaves Nashville - in the middle of the state - as another potential place for legal wranglings following a close and bitter campaign.

Stay tuned... election lawyers are (as always) standing by on both sides...
