Court rejects Coleman argument; state board poised to declare Franken winner
KARE11.com ^ | 1/5/09 | AP

The Minnesota Supreme Court has rejected Republican Norm Coleman's request to count an additional 650 rejected absentee ballots in the state's U.S. Senate recount.

The court's ruling Monday likely paves the way for the state Canvassing Board to certify results showing Democrat Al Franken won the race. But Coleman's attorneys have said they are likely to sue if he loses the recount, meaning it could be weeks more before the outcome is final.

I am disappointed that time after time, democrat thugs steal elections and wimps like Coleman and the MN GOP do nothing.

most Dim’s I know here are apolitical except when at a party or something with fellow Dims or at a union meeting.

then it’s time to blather about Gorebull warming or exhibit BDS to remain popular at the party.

What is left for us to do?

Civil war.

Correction, American Revolution 2.0

Buy ammo, guns and canned food. It’s almost time to risk your sacred honor, property and lives for a better America. It’s been done before and will be done again.

True, the Vikings reduced the price to $200 and sold the remaining tickets, but barely. Prices and taxes in the Twin Cities have gone out of sight and people are tightening up their money. Even for a rabid bunch if Liberals.

If I was a democrat I'd see this as a fitting conclusion to a President who stole the election via the courts — we just stole it back via the courts. (mind you our side is the side that endorses a vicious clown)

Maybe I’m just too young, but it seems that the corruption with Democrats is just in your face as opposed to at LOOKING like aren’t thugs.”

Between the MEDIA,NObama, ACORN, Franken, the Illinois mob mentality, I think a coup was scored in this last election.

Thousands voted who were not eligible and they voted for a fraud who was not eligible...a person born in Kenya.

We have elected fools to the highest offices in the land.”:

IMO, the election got us a total fraud and a hoax for a President.
I still want the Supremes to demand his birth certificate.

My big shift away from liberalism came in the wake of the Clarence Thomas tribunal. I was neither liberal or conservative and really didn't know the difference.

When I discussed with liberal friends that I didn't know who to believe Thomas or Anita Hill they proclaimed that they didn't care as long as it blocked his appointment.

That is pretty much when I became a conservative.

Those same “friends” when confronted with this illegitimate election would say the same thing; they don't care as long as Franken wins!

It was apparent the last few weeks that the recount was fixed and that under the rules adopted by the RAT SoS and his minions Franken was going to win that part of the process.

Coleman can still pursue this in court as part of the contest period and I think he should take it all the way to SCOTUS. This was an absolutely bogus process.

If anyone thinks that Franken has manufactured votes, then they should ask themselves why Coleman refused to play hardball by the same rules.

If they find votes in a car trunk, then...magic...coleman should find votes in a glovebox.

When the U.S. Supreme Court overrules the Minnesota Supreme Court, Democrats will claim that the USSC “stole the election” from Franken.

What are the odds of that happening?

but no people on earth are as collectively smug and passive-aggressively unfriendly as Minnesotans. The citizenry is very provincial and self-satisfied:

I don't know about Scandinavian but as an east coaster we have friends in MN and property in OR. I see Oregon, where we spend a lot of time and which is 99.5% caucasian, as precisely the same mentality. It's like a palpable phenomenon of naivete and arrogance. And the women are the worst.

For one who has been all over the world it is a specifically identifiable psychology.

I think protecting the integrity of our voting system is the most urgent, important issue of our time.

We're at least four years ago from that even being possible as the Democrats have no desire to change a corrupt system that benefits them.

I would guess 50/50, since it is being proven that the Minnesota officials are making one-sided decisions favoring Franken by letting many ballots be counted twice. See the Wall Street Journal article, already posted here and linked on Drudge Report.
