In one particular article they wrote, What's Happening In Minnesota? part 7, they quote an article from the Minneapolis Star Tribune:
The referee in Minnesota's hotly contested Senate race must act in a nonpartisan fashion, yet Ritchie came to office through a nationwide partisan strategy. He was elected in 2006 as part of a national campaign to ensure that Democrats could wield influence in precisely the sort of hair's breadth race we now have here.
Call me an idealist, but when you start trying to control the referee in the match so you get the close call there is just something wrong about that. Of course nobody would dare ever ask the question: "How would you prefer your election officials to act? Do you want them to act as a neutral judge? Or perhaps you want them to be the tie breaker?"
