As a Minnesotan...I'm surprisingly not embarassed, but rather amused. It shows that we do have a sense of humor afterall, though it can oftentimes be expressed in unusual (and perhaps in this case, inappropriate) ways.

I think the reason why it's considered an overvote is because the person wrote in "Lizard People" for the Senate too, even though they voted for Franken.

It's a tough call...but I probably would count it. I mean, in Florida, they counted write-votes for Donald Duck and Bill O'Reilly.
