For the first time since Election Day, Democrat Al Franken is ahead of incumbent Norm Coleman (R) in Minnesota’s still-undecided Senate race.
According to a tally by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Franken has taken the lead as the state’s Board of Canvassers continues to review ballots challenged by both campaigns during the state's hand recount.

“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.” (Uncle Joe Stalin.)
USA elections are more corrupt than some 3rd world elections. Even Iraq with the “purple finger” technique has more honest elections. At least folks have to vote in person and so illegal voters can only vote once and computer and back-room created imaginary voters can’t be done.
Here? The dead, the illegal and the imaginary vote to turn elections for the Dems anywhere it is close enough.
Plus the One Party Press, aka the “Mainstream Media” serves the same role as Pravda did for the Communist Party in the old USSR, and probably accounted for a 50 pct boost in Obama numbers last election.
Plus all the illegal as heck but gladly accepted and sought out campaign fundings from other countries. Remember Obama’s “world tour” during the campaign?
In your face fund raising overseas.
Yeah, corrupt and incompetent is the state of of the govt here.
Get rid of elections, which are controlled by machine politics anyway and choose all city/state/federal elected positions by random lot, like jury duty, would clean up USA govt. Changing our leaders from mostly corrupt and incompetent, to merely incompetent...a 100 pct improvement right there.
The USA needs, like other corrupt countries with corrupt govt’s, international observers and impartial vote counters from some objective, impartial source.
Jimmy Carter can stay home though.
Why do we play. We all know the result is preordained as soon as the recount process begins. The dems will ‘find’, ‘invent’, ‘discover’ or simply manufacture as many ‘votes’ as needed to win. When the republican wins with a margin of less than a percent or so, he should immediately concede. If we participate with the ‘recount’ process we become complicit with the fraud. Simply concede and save everyone the time and money of the process. The end result is the same. The democrat ‘wins’.
Oh, so now the newspapers get to count votes?
they are liars....
He was never in the lead...and He had to CHEAT to get more votes...
He lost on the first day...
