Is Al Franken's team joking?

To see a picture of a ballot that Team Franken (Democrat) is challenging, check this out from The American Spectator, via the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Does anyone really wonder what the voter's intent was on this ballot, aside from a blind person feeling for ink?

Will there come a day when more than half of the people in the country do away with such obvious bullshit artists, electorally speaking? I'm not sure, but I hope so. Yes, the Democrats are a bad joke. Unfortunately, it seems, most people don't really care, as long as the government promises them something.
