Al Franken and Sen. Norm Coleman

Last week at Why Tuesday? we submitted a video question via YouTube’s YouChoose08 to Senator Norm Coleman and Al Franken, who are up against each other for a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota. We wanted to know what they would do to increase American voter participation. Well, they responded!

Summary: Franken likes the idea of weekend voting, Coleman doesn’t.

If you’re curious, Franken says hi to my mom in the video because in our original video question, I mention my mom is a native Minnesotan.
