They cannot selectively recount... either ALL counties recount or none of the do... Bush vs Gore... so they had better tread lightly and Constitutionally.

Keep countin’ until the ‘Rat wins, then announce “Democracy Prevails!”

Franken is a shameless piece of sh*t.

I doubt the error rate is based on a statistically sound sample and the “errors” are really errors.

“Lawyers for Mr. Coleman, who led Mr. Franken by 687 votes out of 2.9 million cast, said they would ask the State Supreme Court to create a framework for how the counties should review”
Surprising, the NY Slimes says Coleman up by 687!!! Just a few days ago the belief was that Coleman was up by less than 200. Crazy times, here we are rooting for a RINO.

The 687 count includes votes that will be taken away from Coleman. 192 is about the lead after the recount.

Coleman has little chance to prevail. All rulings have gone to Franken’s favor. Yesterday the election commission voted to use the election day results showing 133 more votes than the manual recount. This bizarre decision will preserve 33 votes for Franken. The recount of the rejected absentee ballots will surely give Franken a lead of several hundred votes. I am not sure if these absentee voters will be able to recast their ballots as they did in Washington state. Coleman has little prospects to prevail.

Let's see: total defeat is better than salvaging what you can ?

Even RINOs add to the total and could be (not this year) the difference in who controls committees,etc.

Cutting off nose to spite face is never smart.

They voted to ignore the number of votes found on the manual recount. They will count the number of votes registered on election night. Coleman has several similar cases that went against him. They voted to use the manual recount totals instead of the election night totals.

Ok, but does this apply to statewide elections ?

In Bush v. Gore, the supremes ruled it was a nationwide election and thus scotus had jurisdiction. They could argue that a senate race is for a place at a national body or scotus might kick it back to the states.

It can be argued either way... one thing is for certain... this will end up in Court and we shall find our answer... since this is the socialist America of today... it is a crap shoot.
