Luckily, Minnesota’s electoral law has a provision for ties. After all the counting and recounting, if the vote is statistically tied, the state should invoke the section of the law that requires the victor to be chosen by lot. It’s hard to swallow, but the right way to end the senatorial race between Mr. Coleman and Mr. Franken will be to flip a coin.

Interesting idea, but liberals are only going to go for this if Franken loses the recount.
If Franken wins the recount, even if it is only by one vote, then liberals will declare that he won by a mandate.

If the NYT is suggesting a coin toss, it must be that Franken is losing.
