Kirsten Gillibrand Has No Right to Vote

I don’t know how seriously to take Republican candidate Jim Tedisco’s ballot challenges in New York’s 20th Congressional District special election when his campaign is pulling stunts like this as absentees are combed over:

When Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s absentee ballot came up in the queue, the poll watchers for Jim Tedisco objected to it, saying the senator was in the county on election day and should have voted in person.

About an hour ago I got an e-mail from the Republican National Committee informing me that, in Minnesota, “more than 4,400 voters remain disenfranchised because judges ignored equal protection concerns and the facts from Election Day.” So what’s the party’s position on counting absentee ballots? For or against? I really can’t figure it out. Tossing the junior senator from New York’s ballot in the trash is probably a bad move either way.
