With votes for comedian Al Franken mysteriously appearing out of thin air, steadily narrowing the gap between him and Sen. Norm Coleman, the stench of corruption becomes more and more pungent.
*Snip*
According to the Coleman forces, the ballots were not counted on Election Day and were not kept in sealed boxes. It says the request was made amid "increasing questions about unexplained and improbable shifts in vote counts."
The most recent vote tally has Coleman leading Franken by only a couple hundred votes. A recount is planned.
Said the Coleman campaign in a statement: "As improbable and statistically dubious chunks of votes appear and disappear, overwhelmingly benefiting Al Franken
*snip*
"Minnesota has a history of fair and clean elections," the campaign noted, "and we are committed to ensuring that this election is no different. That is why it is so troubling to us that instead of the normal slight changes in vote totals one would expect during this process, we are now seeing huge chunks of votes appearing and disappearing -- statistically dubious and improbable shifts that are overwhelmingly accruing to the benefit of Al Franken. *snip*
Sheehan added that there are reports that during the night, "100 new ballots were reported to the Secretary of State's office from the Mountain Iron area. These previously unreported ballots contained 100 votes for President-elect Barack Obama and DFL candidate Al Franken.

During the night, under cover of darkness.
Naw, never happen.
WHY HAVE REPUBLICANS CONCEDED THE HUNDREDS OF VOTES FOR FRANKEN THAT MYSTERIOUSLY "APPEARED" IN THE DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION?
Why are we panicing? Nothing has gone in favor of Franken
The GOP has no spine or gonads. Too politically correct. Too much Big Tent malaise.
Usual RAT tactics.
“We’ll count and recount until we get the count we need.”
Serious fraud.
Recount is over
And it really made a difference in Washington State when the courts ruled on it. Now if it was a Repub then the whole election would have to be redone.
I never liked Al, I never will, (Stewart Smally was so terrible, I need not comment further), the fact that Libtards steal elections is nothing new, so in the end, Al Frankensheite will win, (beacuse apparently some folk have little or no spine), and the Idiot boy’s gonna be “sworn in”.
What, exactly, is this dolt swearing too? The Con? God? No.
What I would want to say right now is within my bounds, within all citezens bounds, but then again, I guess we don’t count for very much.
The made up votes carry the way, as they did with our national election, excuse me while I puke and pray at the same time.
Yeah, after 6 squandered years of full GOP control of Congress and the White House, now's the time to fight rat corruption and vote fraud.
Pani Cing?
I ain't panicking.
The democrats steal elections.
The republicans let them.
Same ol' same ol'
It was really only a smidge over 4 years with that little prick Judas Jim getting us early in ‘01, so you can really only claim from Jan ‘03-Jan ‘07 after we won back the Senate. Problem really is we lost our balls in the Fall of ‘95 after the gov’t “shutdown” showdown. Bubba won because we blinked, and he got his mojo back and his 2nd term.
Ahhh, right. That'll happen.
More likely Franken will go to DC with the Senate leadership blessings.
Remember, the media is a branch of the DNC.
What do you mean?
This article won't even exist until Sunday.
This article is a month old, dude.
And so, now I take it, the issue moves on to the matter of the challenges. Here is an area of great danger for a Republican because it moves away from an objective count to subjective judgment about the legitimacy of the challenges.
History has shown that the Senate of the United States under its constitutional power to seat or not to seat a putative victor will install a Democrat who lost the objective count when Democrats control the Senate as they do today. Therefore, the matter of the challenges becomes a very treacherous place for a Republican because all Franken needs to do is to contrive a plausible rationale for a victory and the Democrats in the Senate are likely to oblige. The Democrats power in the Senate is not subject to check by the Third Branch so there will be no relief there. Such exercise of their discretion is purely political. Therefore, the matter is now a political issue and that means that we had better be busy winning the public-relations battle. We must make it so egregious that the Democrats will not dare take the political risk. Hence my post in opposition to any suggestion that the battle should not be joined.
Now is definitely the time to panic, or at least move aggressively in the public-relations sphere.
This is a month old.
Please God let this circus be over and Al go home and re-invent himself some other way.
Al why doncha’just go buy a red sports car why doncha’
