Minnesota Public Radio offers a look at some of the challenged ballots in that state’s hotly contested Senate race. The ballot image above is, inexplicably, quite authentic:

This Beltrami County voter cast their ballot for Al Franken, but also put “Lizard People” as a write-in candidate, not only in the U.S. Senate race, but for several others. The county auditor/treasurer ruled that the vote should not be counted because it’s considered an overvote. Representatives for Franken challenged that decision.

Update: The Lizard People voter comes forward.
