1) No due process violation
2) No equal protection violation
3) No double counting
4) OK to use the election night count when the ballot were lost before the recount.
What is evident from the opinion: 1) Norm's legal arguments were awfully thin, and also 2) the Court wasn't real pleased by his endless conjecture regarding what might have been done or what might have been said or what a voter might possible say if the voter testified.
In short, Norm had a shitty case and did a shitty job of preparing it.
In the tradition of being Minnesota Nice, the 5 court members did not specifically go after Normie's lawyers for doing a poor job of proving the case. Had this decision been rendered in Illinois or New York, it is likely that counsel would not have escaped so easily.

Who's the next Republican candidate for governor?
Bachmann?
Nope. She's a whack-job. That's not meant as an ad hominem. She appears to be mentally unstable.
