More Ballots Found in Minnesota Senate Recount

@ 12:48 pm by Michael O'Brien

Democrat Al Franken's campaign said another 12 uncounted ballots have been found in Minnesota's contested Senate election, while announcing it would withdraw an additional 425 challenges to ballots issued during the race's hand recount.

Franken's campaign said that a dozen "UOCAVA" ballots had been found in a Minneapolis-area warehouse by election officials searching for 133 ballots gone missing during the hand recount in the urban center's 3rd ward, 1st precinct. The ballots come from uniformed and overseas voters and were previously unopened and counted, Franken officials said.

"We believe strongly that these ballots should and must be counted prior to the conclusion of the recount," said Franken attorney Marc Elias in a Monday afternoon conference call. "There is considerable precedent for opening and counting this ballots."

The Coleman campaign expressed skepticism toward the newly-found ballots. "As the Minneapolis elections director stated, these ballots were unsecured and chain of custody procedures were not followed," said Coleman campaign spokesman Mark Drake. "They are subject to great question."

Elias reiterated the campaign's demand that election officials continue their search for the missing 133 ballots, but expressed optimism that if the ballots are not found, the state's Board of Canvassers would likely revert to the election night tally, following the Minnesota Secretary of State's stated preference to resolve the situation should the ballots not be found.

The campaign meanwhile withdrew 425 challenges it said it expects to face "no reasonable chance" of being upheld in front of the Board, when it convenes to review challenges December 15.

"We�re continuing to review all challenged ballots and look forward to sitting down with the Franken campaign to whittle down the number of challenges," Drake said.

Claiming a four-vote advantage over Sen. Norm Coleman (R) in their internal tally, Franken's campaign also reiterated its demand that Minnesota counties sort out absentee ballots per a Secretary of State directive that may yield votes, if the Franken campaign is able to have votes they allege were improperly disqualified counted.

Some counties have not yet complied with orders to sort the ballot into five categories, the fifth of which the Franken campaign claims includes absentee ballots for which there is no legitimate reason for disqualification.

"I don't know of any good reason why a county would refuse to sort," said Elias, who refused to name which counties have not yet complied. "I'm trying to give these counties an opportunitity to work with the Secretary of State's office to address their concerns."

The campaign said it has not seriously thought about options to order those ballots be counted, including lawsuits or appealing to the U.S. Senate.

"There are a number of people who ask me from time to time about the status of where the recount is," Elias said. "It's typically about the count. We've said consistently we're taking this one step at a time. The questions I get relate to what's the count and where's the process."

Whoa! Whaddaya know!

Earlier today I was enjoying my morning constitutional when *I* found an Al Franken ballot myself!

Imagine that!

Isn't it ironic that it's the DEMOCRATS who have such contempt for DEMOCRACY.

Comment by Gregorio — December 8, 2008 @ 1:22 pm
It would be so much easier if the Sec'y of MN would just ask Franken how many votes he has.

That way there would be no need to count and he could just assume his rightful place as another clown among clowns in the US Senate.

Comment by Mike — December 8, 2008 @ 1:24 pm
Al Franken should have received a total of 13 votes. This is truly embarrassing for the state of Minnesota.

Comment by Virginian — December 8, 2008 @ 1:24 pm
I'll bet Franken has even more to find hidden in his house, but how to get them into the count? Absentee/military is the only way. Look for that to happen later this week.

Comment by Mark Caesar — December 8, 2008 @ 1:27 pm
Nobody likes you and your are not smart enough! When will you stop wasting the tax payers time and money and wake up to that fact Mr. Franken?

Comment by Bill — December 8, 2008 @ 1:27 pm
I wonder when Frankie's folks will run out of paper for their printers? I'm thinkin' that's about the time these mysterious ballot "discoveries" will stop turning up.

Comment by Mad Monica — December 8, 2008 @ 1:27 pm
I found 12 uncounted ballots in the bottom of the bird cage, want to count these Al?

Seriously, when will this end. I am concerned when they "find" ballots. There is no chain of custody on these. How can you validate them as real or just some stooge filling in bubbles in the back of Al campaign HQ?

Comment by SickOfDummycrats — December 8, 2008 @ 1:29 pm
I also have found several hundred ballots, under the real killers that OJ is looking for's golf bag. Can some one please send me a copy of the ballot so I can make copies and send them to the ballot counters?.
Al is a very good boy.

Regards,
Mrs. Franken

Here we go again, the democrats cannot win the election in the voting booth so they try to win it with lawsuits

Comment by jeff — December 8, 2008 @ 1:33 pm
this is the funniest Al Franken has ever been. Ah, I found some more votes! Oh wait, I found some more over here too! I bet he was never this good at finding Easter eggs.

Oh wait, I was sitting on two and one is stuck to my shoe.

How many more do I need to find?

Comment by technicalfoul — December 8, 2008 @ 1:33 pm
Who thinks Al Franken would commit voter fraud in two seconds if he knew he could get away with it? Guess that's why MN folks want him in office.

Comment by Harry — December 8, 2008 @ 1:34 pm
I have no horse in this race. But any ballot, regardless of who the vote is for, should be disqualified if the control of these documents have been comprimised. I think "lost" and suddenly "found" ballots would constitute a document that has not been under election officials control.

Comment by ct607 — December 8, 2008 @ 1:36 pm
This has been, and continues to be a huge embarassment to the many good citizens of MN (What happened to the 1mm + that somehow voted for Stewart "I'm worth it"??). Now there's talk that Sen. Reid and Sen. Schumer are considering bringing the entire election decision before the U.S. Senate, which would suggest a vote to seat Al despite the counted votes; maybe it's the cold weather, but something is horribly wrong in the land of lakes.

Comment by James — December 8, 2008 @ 1:37 pm
I told a liberial Dem. on one of these comment sections several weeks ago, that Franken will win this election…no doubt. This is exactly like the Governors race in Washington State 4 years ago. The Dems kept "finding" votes and after three recounts the Dem finally won. She (Governor) found votes that were always…always in her favor, even in very strong Republican areas. The liberial said I was some crazy conservative, that they can't "find" ballots. So much for that idea. Its sad how that works, the liberials in this country care about only one thing winning and the end always justifies the means…anything to further their agenda…anything. Congratulations Al!!

Comment by Ron — December 8, 2008 @ 1:38 pm
MN - the joke is on you for voting this clown as close as you did

Congrats! Now go abuse some elderly patients in the local nursing home ala Albert Lea…

Comment by Frank — December 8, 2008 @ 1:40 pm
Al, I was walking along the beach here in Michgan on the lake, and found a bottle, 4 more votes for you!!!!

Don't give up, as Jessie Ventura once said during his days commentating for wrestling, Win if you can, Lose if you must, but always Cheat.

you have it down, so keep going.

Comment by the slovak — December 8, 2008 @ 1:41 pm
What happened to the midwest? Their voting patterns are a joke! You know once they know how many they need accorn will get them to them, its really sad!

Comment by jack kin — December 8, 2008 @ 1:42 pm
And you want these jokers running your healthcare? The Auto industry? Banking?

Where did that (bloodsample | airbag sensor | depost) go?

Oh look! I found it!

It's obvious who among you have a real contempt for democracy - the principal of one citizen, one vote.

Comment by der Wahrheit — December 8, 2008 @ 1:45 pm
I found two more ballots for Franken down here in Baytown Texas! Can you believe it? I bet he will be so excited!

Comment by Red Reader — December 8, 2008 @ 1:48 pm
after al finally concedes defeat — and he will — i wonder how long it will be before he sells his home in mn and moves back to the new york city. he's not one of you, has no interest in being one of you but is more than happy to pretend for a little while if it gets him something like a senate seat. did you ever feel used minnesotans?

Comment by Chris Cole — December 8, 2008 @ 1:48 pm
What is it about this job that Franken is so willing to look like an ass for? What's the payoff he's getting down the road?

Seriously, when did grace and courtesy go out of fashion in this country? If you lose, do it gracefully and just bow out. Don't throw a tantrum.

Comment by dave — December 8, 2008 @ 1:48 pm
When asked how many ballots the campaign had found, Franken's campaign chairman replied, "How many do we need?" LOL

Comment by Brad2 — December 8, 2008 @ 1:50 pm
Liberals like Franken just love democracy…… untill things don't go there way.
I don't think the Senate wants Franken.

Comment by Nobodyknows — December 8, 2008 @ 1:50 pm
It's time for Angry Al to go away.

Comment by jed3d — December 8, 2008 @ 1:50 pm
How did Franken get any more than a few joke votes?

Comment by JLK — December 8, 2008 @ 1:51 pm
It is just bewildering how anyone, even members of his own family, could have voted for Al Franken. Has there ever been a less likable, less qualified candidate for the US Senate? Coleman has been a good, independent voice for Minnesota. Carpetbagger.

Comment by Ken — December 8, 2008 @ 1:51 pm
Maybe we should have had Franken looking for MWDs.

Comment by Mike Houston — December 8, 2008 @ 1:51 pm
We are witnessing the democrats stealing an election. Where is the outrage? I believe the democrats have comprimised free elections in america. That is a bad thing.

Comment by rquinnr — December 8, 2008 @ 1:52 pm
Dear Electoral Commission,

Please count all newly "found" ballots in Al Frankin's favor.

Comment by Marjo — December 8, 2008 @ 1:53 pm
The reason these ballots keep "popping up" (found them in a warehouse, are you joking?) is that it takes time to properly make a good, fake, forged ballot, one that will pass some scrutiny…Al F. has been reading his Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, and probably consulting Hugo Chavez and old Fidel again, and will do ANYTHING to become a member of the Politburo…I mean, Senate, gosh, what was I thinking, ha ha…

How much work did ACORN do in MN? It would be interesting to find out how many fraudulently registered voters voted in the election.

Comment by Slap — December 8, 2008 @ 1:54 pm
Coleman won the election but will lose his senate seat because liberals do not consider lying and cheating a character flaw.

Comment by W D — December 8, 2008 @ 1:55 pm
I believe Franken has more votes than there are registered voters in Minnesota….How many more does he need to claim the election? Just let him know and he'll find them!

Comment by James — December 8, 2008 @ 1:56 pm
This whole Franken/vote business is very telling. Even the Democrats in my state (Utah) seem to have no problem with 'finding' only Franken votes in all kinds of places. With Liberals, it's always, "The end justifies the means." Thank you mister Clinton for setting that precident for your party.

Comment by Dave — December 8, 2008 @ 2:00 pm
Hey I live in Hawaii, do I still have time to vote in this election. Its not fair, my voice should be heard!

I'd like to thank the people of Minnesota for providing some much need comic relief in such difficult times.

Comment by thank you — December 8, 2008 @ 2:04 pm
The Angry Clown knows he's going to lose this. Now he's just trying to taint Coleman and the process of democracy in general, so he'll have something to make unfunny jokes about after he goes off to do whatever he's going to do next. What an ugly and destructive person.

Comment by Mike — December 8, 2008 @ 2:05 pm
Hey Frankenberry, I find a ton more votes in my car. I'll send them to you, but I need you to pay the shipping costs. Just send me $10 per vote, that should cover it. How many can I put you down for?

Comment by Mooney Giancana — December 8, 2008 @ 2:06 pm
If Franken wins he can start the Krusty the Clown goes to Washington embarrasses America reality show.

I've been using some ballots I found instead of TP. Just savin' the environment.

Comment by Jesse Ventura — December 8, 2008 @ 2:10 pm
Franken is finding the vote REPUBLICANS tried to hide. In not time a few more hundred will show up in the trunk of a Democratic Party activist just where the sneaky Republicans hid them.

Comment by Adealia Artist — December 8, 2008 @ 2:10 pm
Al Franken has as much respect for democracy as he has for the 1st Amendment. Let us not forget the day in 2004 when he assaulted a man at a political rally in order to stop him from voicing his opposition.

AS A DEMOCRAT, I think Al Franken is embarrassing. I wish he would just go away.

Comment by This is Idiotic! — December 8, 2008 @ 2:14 pm
Line from movie "Key Largo" 1949 In Ref to Florida elections. Edward G. Robinson "Send some of my boys down there to count votes and they are gonna count, recount,and count again until they get it right. People in Chicago discovered this trick. Then Algore's people tried it in Fl. Now Frankens people in Mn. are trying it.

Comment by Frank — December 8, 2008 @ 2:15 pm
RON,

As I recall, those "found" votes in Washington that gave Gregoire the "win" later turned out to be from dead people and inmates - in other words blatant Democrap fraud. Of course, the B*&%h is still in charge of the state because all the other hucksters out there refused to investigate or punish the fraud. I'm from WA and love the place, but will never move back because of all the liberal corruption out there. I see it happening all over again - MN will keep "finding" votes until Franken is declared the winner. The United States is truly in decline.

Comment by Tony — December 8, 2008 @ 2:15 pm
These MN morons will keep finding ballots until Franken has a lead, then POOF!!!, it'll all be said and done. MN and the Franken campaign are an embarrassment to this country.

Comment by Richard Williams — December 8, 2008 @ 2:19 pm
It's amazing that election officials could be so incompetent to have all these "votes" laying all around Minnesota unaccounted for at such a late date. I say fire all officials involved down to the dog catcher and give Minnesota to Canada. We have enough idiots running this country already.

Breaking news just in - more Al Franken votes found!

1. Geraldo opened up one of Al Capone's previously undiscovered vaults and found 205 Al Franken votes.

2. Archeologists upon entering a long lost Pharoh's tomb that has been sealed since 800BC and viola! 384 Al Franken votes that were in better condition than the mummy itself!

3. Finally, a deep-sea expedition to the Titanic raised a barnacle covered safe that when opened, 103 well preserved Al Franken votes were found inside!

Incredibly, there was not one Coleman vote to be found in either historical find. Game over, Franken wins! Thank God for a free country where every vote counts!

This sounds like a really bad SNL skit. "Oh look! What da ya know! I found more ballots!" This is about as real as his suddenly gray hair.

Comment by Akira — December 8, 2008 @ 2:29 pm
Coleman should just be allowed to win. The mandatory recount law is unfair because an accurate counting of the ballots might show Franken won. Not fair because if the count was inaccurate on election day so be it, FOX news says Coleman won, ta da. GOP is widestance and against democracy. Enjoy lossing losers.

Comment by King — December 8, 2008 @ 2:29 pm
Maybe they will both lose? That would be the best outcome…

Al, you weren't funny on Saturday Night Live and your even less funny now wasting tax-payer funds trying to bring back your dead and buried election bid.

Comment by Herman Munster — December 8, 2008 @ 2:30 pm
Dear Al,

I'm afraid that I can no longer print your ballots at the current price. The cost of ink has
gone up $2.00/barrel. Please include the increase
in the amount of your next check. We are certain
we can make you the winner by January 1st. It will take that long for the ink to dry. By the
way, it is about time you did something that is really funny even though the whole country is laughing at you instead of with you. If this fails, I would suggest Canada. The draft dodgers up there don't care who represents them. Something to do with the effect of cold on the brain.

Comment by sonya — December 8, 2008 @ 2:30 pm
It is ironic that the drudge-o-lanche and Coleman hope to deny the vote to 13 "uniformed and overseas voters" who properly filed and mailed in their ballots.

R's - staunchly defend servicemen so long as they don't wish to vote against R's, so long as they don't try to leave the service to get an education, and so long as they don't end up injured.

Comment by BOB — December 8, 2008 @ 2:30 pm
This is so stupid. They counted 18% of the ballots on the first day. Then they stated that they would be finished counting on DEC 5. I believe it was NOV 18 or 19th was the first day.

Comment by Dave — December 8, 2008 @ 2:30 pm
Wasn't it the GOP that challenged Washington's governship after the DEM was leading in the election day count? Pot and kettle are both black.

Comment by King — December 8, 2008 @ 2:31 pm
This is how a "democratic" recount works. we keep recounting until the Democrat wins. Than that count is certified. All other counts where the Democrat lost do not count.

Playing sports with a democrat is very similar. You keep playing until the Democrat final is ahead, than that is the final score. No matter how much longer the actual game takes…it doesn't matter. What matters is that when the democrat is finally ahead is when the game ends.

Comment by John — December 8, 2008 @ 2:32 pm
Hey, lay off Franken… I'm sure he's creating these lost ballots just as fast as he can.

What's next out of the geniuses in Meenyahsootah… Andy Kaufmann for Governor?

Comment by Sarge — December 8, 2008 @ 2:33 pm

Is it not time to tell Franken that SNL is really his Only claim to fame and any attempt to make the Reid led democrat majority an even more Laughable body is really not necessary with his presence??

Comment by redhawk — December 8, 2008 @ 2:36 pm
Joke's on you Minnesota! What kind of lunatics would even give Al Franken, the disgusting little pig, ANY CHANCE AT ALL of winning this race. You voted for the comedian, and now everyone's laughing at you! The people of MN are worse than the people of pennsylvania who voted for Murtha AFTER he called them racists. What's wrong with liberals? I swear, they would vote for Satan himself if he claimed to be liberal (which i'm sure he is).
Note to self: Don't ever visit Minnesota for fear of becoming an idiot.

Here is a (partial, I fear) list of states where voter fraud is rather common: Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Mexico, Illinois (Chicago), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Washington State, Louisiana, Ohio.

I worry less about who wins any particular election than I do about the damage to our democracy when the average voter realizes the extent to which they are being had.

Comment by Richard Reed — December 8, 2008 @ 2:44 pm
Franken's following the Washington State Governor's Plan For Stealing Elections. This is all part of Al Franken's 12 Steps to Victory. Step 11 is cheat until you get ahead. Step 12 is claim victory with the lib media at your side.

Comment by Al Franken — December 8, 2008 @ 2:48 pm
Wow! If they keep counting and recounting and reinterpreting that gives them enough time to keep "finding" new ballots. If they can delay long enough, they'll probably be able to "find" enough ballots to put the count ahead by thousands (albeit it in just a few districts, but nobody should suspect anything untowards is happening)…Pathetic!

Why is Franken challenging ballots? I thought Democrats such as Franken stood for the proposition that everyone's vote should count?

Comment by Ja,es Boyd — December 8, 2008 @ 3:15 pm
i don't see what the big deal is, both parties have stolen elections for years. they are both (the parties) corrupt and don't deserve to be in power. what is shocking though, is that the franken campaign is so blatant about it. it's a month past the election and they are still finding votes? why doesn't he just go ahead and move into the offices in washington and say "prove i shouldn't be here, if you can get past my lawyers and the capital police". our first clue as americans as to who should be in office should be the wisdom of our founding fathers, who looked on government as a burden, not an f-ing career to get involved in. if all these politicians really wanted to help people, they'd be organizing and paying for soup kitchens right now, with their own money, not whining about who's fabricating more illegititmate votes.

Comment by Debbie — December 8, 2008 @ 3:25 pm
You can really matt drudge has this article linked! Jeez, you guys act as if the recouint was franken's choice. If the vote wasn't so close, none of this would be happening. They have neutral parties conducting this thing. They're the ones finding these ballots, not the dems. 133 are STILL MISSING, and you think they should just ignore them!? And you all say the dems are flipping democracy the bird. They just want an accountable democracy. I think the shame is not counting these ballots on election night.

It's bad enough to be from Minnesota. What with winter 10 months out of the year and those two months that it isn't below freezing there are bugs and humidity to make you with it was freezing again.

But for Al Franken to ever come CLOSE to being elected shows that constant exposure to below freezing temperatures dulls the senses and intelligence.

Screw this country. It's a joke that Franken was a candidate to begin with but it's just another indicator of how neither party has any "leaders" anymore.

Franken sounds like Gore in 2000, who tried to hijack the election in Florida, and, failing to do so, accused Gee Dubya of trying to hijack the election in Florida. Look at it this way. If there were a death penalty for politicians, bureaucrats and government employees who lie, there would be no budget deficit, taxes, regulations and unemployment would be down around your ankles, the Democrat party would be 100% dead, the Republican party would be 65% dead, and the Libertarian party would be 15% dead. Think about that awhile, lads 'n' lasses.

It's a good idea to disqualify those 'lost' mail-in ballots. Coleman doesn't need them. If they turned out to be for Franken on a landslide then they are bogus — but you can't use that as evidence of fraud. Funny that Franken insists on them counted when by all rights they should net against him! The military don't like him.

Oh wow…they found 12 ballots! How about that? Let me guess, they're all votes for Franken, too. All he needs to do now is match those ballots with some of ACORN's fictional voter registrations and he's in like Flynn.

We hillbillies have got this all figured out in Kentucky. Have you ever noticed how we're almost always one of the first states to report results in a national election?

We have these things called "computers" that store the results of each person's vote. There are no hanging chads and no implied intent to be considered because there is no paper ballot. There is instead a diagram of a ballot with flashing button-lights next to each candidate's name and a big button that says "Vote".

You less backward states should look into these. Once again, they're called "computers". You less technical folk can just call them "machines" if it helps.

The new America where by amazing tallies Democrats always have votes show up that are always for them in the first Minnesota car trunk to now counted unopened ballots.
If those 133 missing ballots exist, the reason they are missing is one of Franken's operatives stuffed it in their pants as they were all Norm Coleman's votes.
But as a cheery note, America has a new Prime Minister as Barack Obama's website noted he was a British subject once, and, once a Brit always a Brit. No matter the SCOTUS refuses to uphold the law or any of our government as America is now completely a government of thieves and pretenders.
Franken should just join Martin Sheen in a new Hollywood drama, The Pest Wing, and they both can play usurpers for profit.

"The campaign said it has not seriously thought about options to order those ballots be counted, including lawsuits or appealing to the U.S. Senate.

Sure they havent.

I am sure that Franken will stop demanding additional ballets be counted as soon as he has the lead.

Same as Al Gore. Lets count and recount every vote until I win and then stop.

Comment by retired miilitary — December 8, 2008 @ 4:29 pm
Simply put, Al Franken needs a job. Lauren Micheals stated that Franken was around four years too long twice. Franken's now relegated himself as one of his own worst jokes. He is neither a comedian, an author, a radio host but does owe $70,000 in back income taxes in 17 states dating to 2003.

I don�t think Minnesotans will want to be morphed into Air America which thanks to Al is no longer.

Comment by MDWhite — December 8, 2008 @ 4:33 pm
Rush III, I understand that liberalism (in pure form) is emotionally rooted, but to say all liberals are guided purely by emotion is false. Most are only liberal to certain degrees, and that line is usually drawn based on some form of logic. I'm liberal on drug policy, for instance, but I have a logical explaination that is really more libertarian in form. All that aside, how is accounting for every vote an illogical, emotion-based concept? Its not.

If the election night total had Franken ahead by two hundred votes he wouldn't be going through landfills looking for lost votes in trash bags. "Count all the votes" is garbage. They already were counted, on election day. There hasn't been an election in the history of the world where votes were tabulated 100% correctly, the same way there has never been a sporting event where officiating was 100% correct. It's the nature of the process. Some people voted twice. Some ineligible people voted. Until we have secure voter identification cards and do away with paper ballots election results will always be inaccurate.

I think the comments on here say everything you need to know about the Republican party. They say the liberals are stealing the election. How? By counting every last vote? Are you just trying to sound that f'in retarded, or does it come naturally to you idiots?

I mean, counting votes properly is stealing an election, but trying to suppress a final, accurate count is patriotic and good for america? Where do you people get off? Do you actually care that your ballot was counted? If Franken won by 1 vote, and they said to you, "you know, we didn't count your ballot, but whatever.. we just called it when we were bored," would you be pissed off?

The hypocrisy and ignorance is just damned frightening. You people are exactly what's wrong with America. Don't go blaming liberals because you don't want votes counted when it's not going your way. It's every voters right to have their vote counted, and it's an abortion of democracy to have it any other way.

Blimer,

"Voter suppression" in Democrat-speak is a synonym for not allowing illegal or improper ballots to be counted. It's only "voter suppression" if the Democrat is losing. It's "preventing Republicans from stealing another election" if the Republican is losing.

It's not Republicans who go looking for ballots in trash cans and claim that a chad that is hanging due to the ballot having been recounted so many times indicates clear intent. If Dems are so all-fired worried about disenfranchising voters why did they take away the convention votes of their own delegates from Florida and Illinois?

Dustin, since you have the blinders on and drunk on the Lib Kool-Aid, let me show you what you have missed.

Piles of uncounted votes are being found in what is better described as an Easter Egg hunt. Somebody found a pile in a car. Another set is in a warehouse. Another set is found in a back room under some 5 week old newspapers. Yet with all the votes that are being "found", they are 100% for Al Franken?????

It would look less suspicious if these votes were say 60-40 or even 70-30. Then you Frankenstein supporters could have a small leg to stand on.

Comment by RightWinger — December 8, 2008 @ 5:02 pm
Dustin: everybody wants all the votes counted. The hypocrisy and ignorance you refer to comes from candidate Franken doing everything he can to complicate the recount process. Franken does NOT want "all the votes counted" and the proof is the thousands of baseless challenges he's made on perfectly legitimate ballots. The double proof is that he is now withdrawing hundreds of those baseless challenges every day.

"Missing" ballots were "found" nine times! Slowly the democrat candidate for Governor caught up, and took the lead. Viola! No more found ballots. The election was certified. You folks are next. Good luck.

Comment by SeaBob — December 8, 2008 @ 5:12 pm
This is so unfair. Are we going to let the fascists steal another election like they did in 2000 and 2004? From now on, the Democrat should automatically be the winner of all elections unless the fascist gets more than 99% of the vote. Only Democrats should be allowed to count votes. When will fairness return to America?

Comment by I got hope!!!! — December 8, 2008 @ 5:12 pm
Perhaps Mr. Franken can find additional votes wrapped in newspaper and stored in William Jefferson's (D-La) freezer in Louisana (along with the $95K of cold cash).

Comment by ken — December 8, 2008 @ 5:15 pm
I'm with you, Snowman. People in Canada can't believe that you can vote in the US without showing acceptable ID. If Franken's people have him ahead in their internal tally, he must have some of the people working for him who had Hillary Clinton ahead of Obama.

Bush stole TWO elections because of inaccurate voting methods. When are we going to overhaul our voting system so it is clear, honest and beyond doubt? Why would legitimate votes NOT be counted? This country needs SERIOUS oversight in almost EVERY arena. If the Bush years - the destruction of America by corporate interests - has accomplished anything positive, it's to awaken Americans to how corrupt our systems are. Maybe now things will change… if we all get serious about demanding SANE change!

Two years ago there was a great hue and cry about corrupt, dishonest Republicans. Now we have Al Franken, William Jefferson, Charlie Rangel, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, and others too numerous to count. All Democrats and all pure as the driven snow! Americans sure are stupid. I'm beginning to think there should be an open season (365 days per year)on politicians of all stripes.

>>> Comment by Dave (67): Wasn't it the GOP that challenged Washington's governship after the DEM was leading in the election day count? Pot and kettle are both black.

The Republican won by a few votes; but they did three recounts till the Democrat won. Franken is obviously going the same route. So its not the pot and kettle analogy, it's just another dem tactic.

Comment by Mark — December 8, 2008 @ 5:58 pm
Chelle R…. You have just claimed that anything and everything you(leftists) want to do, illegal or immoral are ALL validated because Bush won two elections. Let me repeat WON 2 elections. The corporate interestes that really hurt us were Fannie and Freddie and Franklin Reigns and Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi. They almost destroyed our economy. If Bush is at fault it is because he did not weigh in to stop the crap that they were up to. AND How about them Union guys that are holding General Motors hostage? Sounds like payback for HUGE donations are on the way in the form of bailouts. Way to go, Babe. Are you Blond or just stupid?

In Washington state in 2004 the republican Dino Rossi won the count on election day. It was close so a recount was ordered. Similar to what is happening here.

He won the recount even after the dems "found" hundreds of ballots. So a second recount was ordered and even more ballots were "found".

The democrat finally won on the third count and declared the counting was over. Like SeaBob says Paul Berendt was in on that count and he is now advising Franken.

Be afraid people, be very afraid for democracy.

As far as Florida 2000, Bush won on election day and he even won the New York Times recount. So that issue should be dead. No stolen election then. The only stolen elections are be democrats.

Where do all these haters come from? They obviously have never listened to a word uttered by this remarkably politically consious and honest man. Why wouldn't he try to make sure the recount was as thorough as possible? It's a matter of a few votes. Norm Coleman has told lies about Franken during the election and the commenters here just back him up. No one has been declared the winner, but I hope Franken wins just to shut these posters up.

Comment by Dan — December 8, 2008 @ 6:20 pm
Al Franken should take a lesson from Christine Gregiore, the Governor of Washington state. Keep recouting until it comes out in your favor and then claim that was the correct one.

Get a grip libs, Bush won, and every investigation after proved this, and Franken is trying to steal it. You liberals just cannot lose well. You stole the WA governors race with fake ballots (more votes than voters) and now this.

The end always justifies the means with the left. That the left would support this waste of skin is telling.

Minn. is doing its best to take over the reputation for election irregularities we used to have here in Louisiana. This weekend, rather than re-elect the corrupt Congressman "Dollar Bill" Jefferson, the voters in his heavily Black and Democrat district elected the first-ever Vietnamese American to Congress, and he's a Republican to boot. Last year, we elected the first Indian American to be our governor. We must have gone through the Looking Glass and somehow traded places with those at the other end of the Mississippi River.

I don't care how washed up, angry or mass murdering Al Franken is, he would make a better Senator than anyone calling themselves Republican. Why?

You have made a mess, don't want to her it.

The Franken thug running the show is the same guy who stole the Washington State Governor's office for Gregoire. He's using the same tactics here, keep counting and manufacturing votes till you have enough. It's a Dem State so it'll work.

It must be really making you angry that Obama is gaining in popularity since the election as more and more people see what he is really like, rather than buying the BS you internet trolls were posting about him 24/7 for months leading up to the election.

This is similar to St. Louis where they routinely use court orders to keep polling places open beyond the scheduled closing time. Generally they keep them open until the democrat vote counters and election judges inform them that the democrat has won. Very efficient because who can stop a judge? It also neatly avoids the need for lawyers.

Al "Stuart Smalley" Franken is a pathetic asswipe weasel of the worst kind. That there are enough people in Minnesota to have voted for Smalley to create this mess makes me never want to have anything to do with the state, except that more voted against him… so, it all depends on the outcome, which really will have nothing to do with the citizens of Minnesota, but rather Smalley's attorneys and sack of crap secretary of state.

It's not disenfranchisement, they've disqualified themselves by their own choices. Wise up.

@ honest illinoisan;
Nobody from this hole of a state has any business talking like democrats are superior to republicans. Hell, for that matter, minnesota is at least a step above us here because they at least have a tight race. When you guys reelected Blago, he had a majority that is pretty embarrassing considering what a bang up job he did.

By the time he gets done with this childish and petty contesting of the election, NOBODY will admit having voted for him. Probably by now half the people who did, wouldn't do so a second time.

lets pretend for a minute! Its FUN!

You are on trial for murder…

The cops suddenly present evidence to nail you.

When asked, the DA says "we found it"

When asked who gathered it the DA says "We don't know"

When asked where it was before the DA says "Who knows? We just found it. We can't account for it,or even if it was at the crime scene. We just found it."

In Little Al's world you should rise and address the judge demanding all the evidence be heard. even the stuff that doesn't fit the carefully laid out rules!

[sound of cell door slamming]

End of Pretend time.

I don't care who may or may not have stolen any past election, and at this time neither should Minnesotans. Leave that to historians and the tinfoil hat crowd.

The fact is this election is being manipulated,and its so transparent, so blatant that its an unfunny joke. No tinfoil hat required. Count every vote, no matter how questionable? When does it stop? According to Al, When Al wins, thats when!

And..just a note from my brother down in Chicago…the trick is to bogus up a landslide. No recounts required in Chi-town! Those guys are pros.

PS: I looked at the Capitol this morning and noticed each of the golden horses had a piece of paper in their mouths. Through the binoculars I could see they were ballots for Franken. When will these be counted?

Comment by Sgt Preston — December 8, 2008 @ 9:38 pm
Hey 'way smarter than you', the whole economic collapse going on started with the banking system which was driven to insolvency by DEMOCRATS using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as social programs to put people in houses they could not afford. Give a bunch of people mortgages based on income including FOOD STAMPS (i.e. 'I can't afford to feed myself but I can afford to buy a house'), drive the housing market up with demand driven by bogus homeowners, and when it all collapses, blame the Republicans who are on record as warning about this for YEARS in advance. I do blame the Republicans for failing to make a big enough stink to put the blame squarely where it belongs - on the DEMOCRATS. And you aren't smarter than me, really you're not smarter than most people.

What has not been reported is that Harry Reid is in Minnesota using his famous nose to sniff out every vote due Franken. The reason nothing has come up for Coleman is that Reid can only catch the scent of Democratic ballots. Reid's assistance came to an end this evening when he was accidentally exposed to a group of "common people" and passed out from the smell. Ted Kennedy was on the scene volunteering to perform the kiss of life. Pelosi had to be restrained from performing the life saving act herself as this would surely have been fatal.

I'm in Georgia and at first was frustrated by the re-vote required because no candidate got more than 50% in the original election. Seemed like a waste of money. But compared to Minnesota's current morass, I'll take the re-vote every day of the week. If too many votes are suspect and the count is too close to call with any certainty, then let them rerun. Our process was a lot smoother with less subterfuge. Any takers in MN?

I like being a minnesotan, but i lose my mind being among so many liberals sometimes. but please don't generalize. There are plenty of conservatives out here, and it's not our fault. Blame it on the ignorant ones who vote for the "D" next to a name because they see something in it for themselves. It's like a little kid putting a triangle shape in a triangle hole because they might get candy for it.

Jos. Stalin said, in 1945, to his Politburo grumblers about his promise to have "free elections" in the Eastern European countries he was occupying, "He who casts his vote decides nothing. He who counts the votes decides everything." A country which has no integrity to the vote counting system is well on its way to being another banana republic failed state. So you neofacist Stalinists out there in Minnesota, keep cookin the vote counts, and the rest of us will hand you recent Greece in spades.

It is a travesty and we are all watching it happen. Another election stolen, only thing is it is a Democrat doing the stealing so the liberal media turns a blind eye. The US is on the decline because the liberals are held to lower standards. Al Franken is an example of the lower standard we have set for the people who are elected.

Comment by pm — December 8, 2008 @ 10:47 pm
The only defense of what Al Franken is doing that I've read in these comments is the lame "COUNT EVERY VOTE!" Surely what you mean to say is "Count every certifiably valid vote!" Yes? As you have seen in these comments, many people from other state are now demanding to vote in this election. You don't really want to count *their* votes do you? Of course not. Most of the people in these comments against what Franken is doing seem to feel that votes 'found in a closet' are clearly *not* a valid vote. How did they get in that closet? Who had access to them before they were found? Why were they put in a closet?

The people of Minnesota have spoken and, lets face it, they have express no overwhelming preference for either candidate. The actual vote is *clearly* within the margin of error of any vote of this kind and a coin toss is as good as anything to decide the vote. The best thing to do is accept the very first count of the votes, using the process in place. However, since a recount is allowed by law (but Franken could have, and should have, refused it) lets go with the recount. But, please, no heroic measure should be made to 'find' votes. Any 'new' votes should be regarded as highly suspicious and only included if extreme measures are used to confirm it is a valid vote.

Comment by OccamsGun — December 8, 2008 @ 10:48 pm
Come on folks. Do you really think Al Franken found the ballots himself? Election officials found the ballots, and Franken's camp reported it (as election officials probably weren't rushing to the media to report their own stupidity at having misplaced ballots for a month). Even Coleman's camp admits the ballots exists but contests whether they should be counted. Just read the story. Then decide who supports the democratic process.

Boy, the printing presses are really going printing up democrat votes. If you believe that they are finding votes that were made in November you will believe anything. The FBI should be investigating this and the democrats that have taken past in this fraud should go to jail. I am tired of ACORN and the Democratic party in their voter fraud that has be done all over the country. You people have no morals and are not loyal Americans. We have seen a group of anti Americans take over the congress and the White House. Beware America you voted the most corrupt group as a hole that we have ever had to take over our government. Terrorist, Muslim loving, lying, crooks, on the take for their own gain. I could list more but I guess voter fraud has to be close to the top of the list.

Treason must be punished, most of the democrats in congress and it will prove also in the White House have done things that I feel could constitute treason at least not in the best interest of the people of our great country. They are self serving and dishonest.

Why don't the Republicans "find" a whole cargo ship full of a BILLION ballots, all for their guy, and pull the mask off this running joke? Every single "mistake" has been in favor of Franken. That tells me that one of two things is true: 1. Franken is cheating. 2. Democrats are too stupid to be allowed to vote. So which is it?

They'll keep "finding" ballots until Franken wins. My suggestion would be to stop voting in that state. Seriously. Don't waste your time. The best protest for Republicans would be to stay home next time and let the Democrat "win" unanimously.

Comment by Eric — December 9, 2008 @ 12:21 am
Just to clarify.

The Washington governors race in 2004 went down like this: With most results tallied on election night, Rossi (R) held a narrow lead over Gregoire (D). With mail in ballots counted in the next week, Rossi (R) maintained his slim lead (like 300 votes) over Gregoire. With ballots officially counted, Rossi was certified the winner of the WA Gov's race. However, because the margin was so thin, state law requires an automatic machine recount.
After the automatic recount, Rossi again held a lead, although it had narrowed (to something like 150 votes). State law allows a third "hand recount", but requires the candidate who requests it to post bond and promise to cover the cost ($1 mil) if the recount doesn't change the result. So the Dems posted $100k and ordered the "hand recount", which was like the Florida recount where partician committees determined "voter intent".
Gregoire narrowed the deficit in the hand recount, but it became apparent that the results were unlikely to change. And that's when bags of ballots started to be found in unsecured locations. And Dem lawyers going to court saying that "every vote should count". And liberal King County judges agreed, and said that the mysteriosly appearing votes should be counted. And after a bag of votes here and a bag of votes were found there, Gregoire (D) suddenly found herself the winner.
This is what was going to happen in Florida before the Supreme Court put a stop to it. And it's what's happening in Minn. right now. Dem politics as usual.

So, from what I can tell from this past election is that Americans have all but given up on being Americans. They have totally and completely lost sight of what it means to be an American. You know the whole "for the people, by the people" thing. All of these politicians, on both sides, are looking out for nobody but themselves. Why else would a guy fight so hard for a job that doesn't pay that well, at least legally, and in which you get ZERO respect from the majority of fellow Americans. It is because these people are sick with power. After this election I am looking to move out of this country and try to find a place where my freedom is not eroded on a daily basis, I am not taxed unfairly and I don't have to live in fear that my government has sold out it's people (Clinton/China, Bush/Cheney/Haliburton, Obama/TBA) all for the benefit of a few, themselves.

Any suggestions?

Comment by liberalbob — December 9, 2008 @ 12:59 am
its terible how the hate keeps pilling on. So many negative comments and energy. We need to come together as people of the planet and support our child as he fights for the victory for us all. Franken, he gets the future, he can guild us and help save this country.

Comment by Obama girl — December 9, 2008 @ 1:05 am
I can not beleive it. Found 12 ballots in a warehouse? Next ,12 out of 12 ballots found are for franken. C'mon can we just can real. Next they will be taking bet in Vegas on where the next ballots would be found. And were is SNL? I can sure find the joke.

Do we not have enough comedians in Congress? Give it up Franken. Would you be fighting as hard if the Republican were in your shoes??

For the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my country.

Comment by Repub — December 9, 2008 @ 1:16 am
Had Senator Coleman served as a conservative republican during his term, there wouldn't even be a need for a recount. He lost his base and a recognizeable third party candidate drove another nail into the coffin. If Coleman ends up losing it will be because he had enough people vote against him, not Franken winning votes for himself.

I live in China (I really do) and you guessed it. I found 3 ballots for Frankin in an egg roll.
Where should I send them? They have not been under control but Al doesn't mind. Why don't you folks in Mn stop this. It is becoming embarrassing for your state.

Comment by Ruckus — December 9, 2008 @ 1:56 am
This is a joke ohh look I found some more votes and look here I found some more. Plz spare me this has become comical. And it seems only Al seems to find these magical votes that just appear out of the blue. I wounder if htere a vote fariy leaving these votes for Al to find.

Comment by gmandog — December 9, 2008 @ 2:33 am
Al I found a ballot under my pastami sandwich. All you have to do is get the "shmaltz" out.

Wow. It took all of eleven comments before the anti-Semitism came up. Pretty good, guys.

Comment by JackRB — December 9, 2008 @ 2:47 am
I guess that Frankens motto is keep finding ballots until you win, even if you have to do so under some very suspicious circumstances.

Franken should just give up now, he lost and now he is throwing his temper tantrums in court to try to get the valid results overturned.

Comment by Scott — December 9, 2008 @ 3:15 am
Ohhh! I found 36 ballots behind my toilet this morning! Al will be so excited and will argue fiercely that they deserve to be counted too because all voters should be heard! No wait, these ballots favor Coleman. I'll just toss them back in the toilet…

Comment by Joey — December 9, 2008 @ 3:35 am
Wow. I can't wait to see all the wingnuts raise hell against Norm Coleman if his campaign finds some friendly votes. That would be the "fair and balanced" way right? The GOP will never recover until conservatives are no longer in favor of vote suppression. Grow up. You all sound like Rush. Read the articles by the Star-Tribune(endorsed Coleman) about how fair and impartial the recount has been. I hope Al wins but I also hope that whoever truly has the most votes wins because that is far more important than any senator.

Comment by seeroy — December 9, 2008 @ 3:53 am
Why don't the stupid Republicans go out and find themselves some damn votes?
What's good for the gander——-

Comment by fleur — December 9, 2008 @ 4:52 am
Can you imagine the grief Franken would visit upon Minnesota and the country if he somehow manages to sleaze into office? He is nothing more than a disturbed, power-mad Liberal idealogue.

Comment by nraendowment — December 9, 2008 @ 4:56 am
somebody please put that loser Franken out of his misery.

Comment by minister of truth — December 9, 2008 @ 5:31 am
Obama should go to Minnesota and bring his friends in ACORN I am sure they could turn up several thousand more votes for Franken, just as they did all over the North East for other Democrats. Can't those people in Minnesota do anything right? The Dems are stealing an election here and you are supposed to let them! As long as we are going to have an illegitimate government we might as well go all the way. New world order! Face it Al, even when the fix is in, you are a loser:You are not smart enough; you are not good enough and gosh darn it people just don't like you!

Comment by Robin Marks — December 9, 2008 @ 6:00 am
Al and his lawyers should be run out of the state on a rail!

Comment by Albo58 — December 9, 2008 @ 6:55 am
hey what's this? i found some franken votes in the compost heap. just now. isn't that a coincidence? hey al, let me know how many more you need to "find". wink wink.

Comment by Al's dad — December 9, 2008 @ 6:55 am
WOW! All this time and Ol' Al has only managed to gin up twelve ballots?

Even the DFL machine must not like him very much!

Al, SHUT UP and GO HOME

Comment by SKEPTICAL OBSERVER — December 9, 2008 @ 6:56 am
Franken is making a mockery of this election and knows it but doesn't care. He knows he lost, but wants to burn down the entire operation thinking if he doesn't win, no one else will either. The guy is nasty and not worthy of a senate seat to represent the USA. After the election, he will go back to his comedy act in some other state and we will never see him again until he condemns conservatives, christians or Republicans again.

Comment by Vince Hugh — December 9, 2008 @ 7:00 am
Can't wait for the Saturday Night Live spoof on Franken's missing ballots…

Comment by WMmorgan — December 9, 2008 @ 7:05 am
Franken is just mad because he is losing his gravy train. each committee you are on you get paid. plus the salary, plus all the benefits. free parking at national airport, free postage. can't get arrested if traveling on official business. free trips around the world. if ur speaker of the house, you get your own 747 for travel (nancy pelosi). The abuses go on and on. And its all at the expense of the taxpayer, you and me. maybe he'll have to work as a real tax payer for a change for the first time. But no he won't. he's squirreled away his free money for so many years he probably won't work a day in his life.

Comment by john — December 9, 2008 @ 7:10 am
What the hell is the matter with all of you commentors? Remember, you'll never lose betting on the the stupidity of the American people. Just look at the Congress. Al really, truly belongs there. At the head of it. He's the biggest dummy and has a RIGHT to the throne. Besides Coleman isn't much better.
Minnesotans, you made it close; you live with it! Punishing me along with yourselves.

Comment by Zerblis — December 9, 2008 @ 7:16 am
As a someone who grew up in Minnesota, I am embarrassed @ how the election is going between coleman and franken. Franken is trying to steal the election any way he can. The election board should call it and give it to coleman. If it were possible to do a revote and the votes were the same today, franken would still be playing dirty. Al franken is a bully, and that's what liberals and democrats do for those who play dirty politics. Al Franken is making a mockery of the voting system here in the USA. The rest of the world looks up to us. What kind of a role model are we sending to the rest of the world? There are enough corrupt elections across this planet. Al Franken needs to admit he has lost and shut up and let Coleman get on with the task at hand and get on with business in dc.

Comment by Phillip — December 9, 2008 @ 7:26 am
Franken is a clown and a buffoon. How that many people even voted for this person and I use that term loosely is amazing to me.

Baby Al just move back to CA and live in the state of fruit and nuts where you fit in so well.

Comment by Steve — December 9, 2008 @ 7:32 am
I think that SOB Franken is manufacturing ballots and will continue to claim that every ballot needs to be found until he finally comes out ahead.

Comment by Jack — December 9, 2008 @ 7:34 am
I was on a airplane last night from Chicago to MSP. Just arrived. I sat next to a nice gentleman from Chicago. He was taking some ballots he found in his precinct in Chicago to Minnesota for the recount. Magically, they were all for Franken too.
By the looks of this guy, I think they better allow the votes to be counted. He has connections.

Comment by Al Franken vs Robin Williams Time to exit the stage. — December 9, 2008 @ 7:48 am
As a resident of the not so great state of Minnesota I think it is time to bring this sham to an end. Lets just have a run off election. It won't even be close as we won't have the "coat tail effect" of the Obama victory. The people of Mn. deserve to have truly elected representation and this "ballot hunt" has gone on long enough. As it stands now the people of Minnesota are being disenfranchised.

Comment by spike — December 9, 2008 @ 7:49 am
Might need to take a look in Jefferson's refrigerator. Just might be a few extra votes hidden in there.

Comment by Joseph L Brown — December 9, 2008 @ 7:57 am
There is no democracy in the Democratic Party, no character, and certainly no humility. Their mainstay is to bully and buffalo the good citizens of this once great country into relinquishing authority to them so they might re-write the constitution providing those unchallengeable rights to dictate policy. The idea of rigging an election certainly did not start with Al Frankin, heck if it weren�t for election rigging L.B.J. would have never reached Washington. It�s amusing really, the Democrats actually believe that the American public is comprised of utter morons whom cannot comprehend their strategic objective of robbing this country of it�s� freedom. On the bright side, however is that the Dem�s cannot stand each other as much as they cannot stand self governed states so like history shows us that its just a matter of time before they implode.

Al Franken is the liberals liberal along with Barney Frank and the rest of the "sincere" libs.

Al should just put his head between his legs and kiss his ass goodbye and quietly leave the scene.

Comment by Bill Konrad — December 9, 2008 @ 8:16 am
I almost hope he does manage to steal this election. Only then will all the nitwit casual voters who are easily swayed by liberal promises wake up to the fact that lots of these folks are actually just machine politicians who have contempt for democracy. Shame on on the Dems in Minnesota for being such old left hacks.

Comment by TonyD — December 9, 2008 @ 8:16 am
Al Franken consistently wears an expression on his face that seems to create the urge, in anyone who sees it, to punch it. And punch it hard.

Comment by tryork5ifp — December 9, 2008 @ 8:18 am
Ever notice how it's always the Democrats that mysteriously find votes after an election they've lost?

Just keep counting til you get a count you like, right Al?

Kind of like the last Governor's race in Washington, where they counted until the Dem got the lead, and then declared the election final…

Talk about disdain for our system, the Democrats would sell their mothers down the river just to win.

Comment by JasperRasper — December 9, 2008 @ 8:22 am
Franken doesn't look like Frankenstein to me. When he smiles real big, he looks like Tommy Lee Jones as the joker.

Give up politics Al, your a jokester. Talk to your Hollywood producer's, and make the next Batman movie. You can be a real victim, and a paid criminal. All you have to do is smile, and not say a thing. Then we won't have to listen to your crap!!!!

Comment by Debbie — December 9, 2008 @ 8:22 am
It is MAGICAL! My little Harry is grown up, changed his muggle name to Al, and wa la! Presto, chango! Magical VOTES appear!

Comment by Mrs. Potter Sr. — December 9, 2008 @ 8:26 am
With all of the high tech capabilities availble
you people can't even run an election without all of this recount BS. It's really not hard, People vote, people count under security, votes are tallied and the winner is announced. Where in the hell do all these hidden votes come from, how can you "find" votes after an election? How do votes get lost? Someone if fiddling with the elction process, I wonder who that could be?
By the way Al, I was just shovelling out the cow manure and I found another 15 votes, they're coveres in cow shit but that shouldn't matter to you. By the way I had a voting booth in my cow barn that's how they got there. What Bull shit.

Comment by Bill Konrad — December 9, 2008 @ 8:32 am
This would be a great time imo for our new president-elect to stand up in the spirit of 'change' and send Slapnuts Smalley on his way.

But its ok coz - Gosh darnit people like u <3

Comment by FairfieldHustle — December 9, 2008 @ 8:53 am
This gives me flashbacks to the three years I lived in Chicago. Do any of our votes really count if it's a close election and the person who is supposed to win isn't? I will continue to vote even though I'm very disenfranchised. What ever happened to the promise that all the voting irregularities, the Attorney General (John Mitchell), was supposed to investigate after the 2000 election?

Comment by Jerry — December 9, 2008 @ 9:04 am
sing it with me:

you put the Al votes in
you take the Norm votes out
you put the Al votes in
and you take another count

you do the Florida Pokey and you turn the count around
that's what it's all about!

you send the lawyers in
you drag the whole thing out
you stand before the judge
and you whine and scream and pout

you do the Florida Pokey and you turn the count around
that's what it's all about!

does anyone SERIOUSLY believe there's a non-zero chance that Franken will not eventually be declared the "winner"?

Comment by jakesdad — December 9, 2008 @ 9:25 am
Mark my words, you saw the exact same thing in Washington. As soon as Al Franken has enough votes to win, the Sec of State will call the election. Any ballots that suddenly appear out of thin air should be discounted. This is a sad, sad commentary on our voting procedures when a losing candidate can not only drag out an election until he wins, but can also force the state to spend all that money on a recount. When will it end.

Comment by M L J — December 9, 2008 @ 9:53 am
The one constant of Republican theory is that votes don't matter. Where as Democrats believe that every vote should be counted, Republicans supress, vote shift and bully their way to election victory. Afterall its how they won the Whitehouse twice. And look what a mess they made. Count every vote and then send Norm packing.

Comment by Andrew — December 9, 2008 @ 10:00 am
In response to those who say One person / One vote:
I agree, but without a proper chain of custody, how do you make sure it's not One person / One or more votes?

Vote early, Vote often.

Comment by tfde — December 9, 2008 @ 10:54 am
Power at any price. Maybe if ACORN and the community organizers, and the Democrats would of gotten more fraudulent ballots out they wouldn't have to look under every rock fot, Oh I found some more ballots that are all for democrats.How many dead people voted or homeless people with bench park addresses. How many of these type of votes were used in the Presidential elections.Now this morning we hear that the Governor of Illinois. is arrested for trying to sell obama's senate seat. No , tell me it isn't so.

Comment by Larry Motylinski — December 9, 2008 @ 12:41 pm
Actually, this is the best.

Despite all of the Democrats cleaning up in the Presidential, House, and Senate elections, poor, poor Al has to scrape and beg and cheat in a failed attempt to become a Senator.

His camp keeps using that BS line that they are ahead in votes . . . of course they base that on how many "challenged" votes each candidate submitted. Yea, right. like all those challenged ballots will be accepted.

Later this year, Al will be moaning on David (the Nazi Liberal)Letterman that he really won the election.

POOR, POOR, AL. I LOVE IT!

DRAMA: Franken�s camp claims more ballots found�
More Ballots…

I knew if I read this blog long enough I would find some jerk claiming Bush stole the 2000 election and I was not disappointed….CHRIS.

Gore attempted to steal the election by demanding recounts only in 3 heavily liberal counties in Florida. Gore is the one that took it to the courts, not Bush. The SCOTUS did not 'declare' Bush the winner. They ruled that a recount had to include the whole state since it was a federal election. At that point Gore withdrew since he knew the result….BUSH WON FLORIDA IN 2000! NOW YOU GET OVER IT JERKS!

Comment by Bob in GA — December 9, 2008 @ 4:13 pm
The fact that Obama and Franken were even considered for public office is proof that the US is no longer the land of the free. We are being taken down the path to Socialism by Pelosi, Obama, Reid and their ilk.

The odd part is that out of HUNDREDS of ballots Franken's people have manufactu….err "found, that NONE were for the Republican candidate. Against all statistical odds, not ONE OUT OF HUNDREDS!!!! Which of course is impossible, but do you hear the Republican party screaming about being cheated and voter fraud?

The Democrats are still screaming voter fraud about the 2004 election!

Hey, I just had a little bit of flatulence… and I consquently found 17 ballots for Franken!!!!

Comment by RD Scott — December 9, 2008 @ 9:20 pm
