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.
He is among his peers. There are many poliicians that are shameless.
The counting will stop the instant Franken has a lead.
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.
Let’s just have the civil war before we are too old to fight it...
Really! Whyn root for a RINO? Franken is the perfect rat Senator for 2009. I do not care if a RINO wins.
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.
The very Nanosecond.
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.
These are new times - I have a laptop operated drone I can control from my dock
Wasn’t that the Degregoire strategy in WA?
WTF? They will report more votes than voters?
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.
“They cannot selectively recount... either ALL counties recount or none of the do... Bush vs Gore... so they had better tread lightly and Constitutionally.”
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.
Wrong. RINOS are the problem. Might as well have Crats. Example...McLame.
