Who Can Really Say?

I fart a lot enough, and as often as not it's a brain fart. Once when I was a kid, a tore open a candy wrapper, removed the candy bar, and while holding the wrapper in one hand, tossed the candy bar into the garbage with the other. But enough about me.

The Electoral College voters in the several states met on the 13th (maybe they should change that date?) and in Minnesota, a state won by Kerry, the 10 electors voted as follows: John Kerry 9, John Edwards 1. It was a secret ballot -- the electors were instructed to write the name of the Presidential candidate of their choice on a piece of paper and to deposit the paper into a ballot box.

None of the electors owned up to being the rogue, faithless elector. From the Slate link above:

But one elector wrote John Edwards' name instead. None of the electors would admit to having done it, and it's possible none of them actually remembers having done it. (That even a highly active Kerry supporter would have trouble remembering his candidate's name a little more than one month after the election is, sadly, plausible.) So Minnesota's errant elector is not only faithless, but faceless.

But not fartless! I have no idea what this means for Instapundit's long campaign ("Paper always works") for the return to paper ballots.
