The unfortunate residents of that state may accept this.

However, if it’s done on a national level, there will be a revolt. And not a pretty one.

the Democrats had outfoxed,out-argued, and out-dataed them

Don't they always?

I'm thinking about the Starr investigation, when they had Lewinsky by the throat. They never squeezed her to find out where she got the (suborning perjury) Talking Points Memo in order to work their way up the food chain.

Democrats are wolves. Republicans are lambs.

“Elias again had proved himself worthy of his status as the go-to gunner for Democrats nationwide. He represents all but a handful of Democrats in the U.S. Senate and has prepared to fight or has fought close Senate elections every two years for a decade. “

Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey kiddies. We have a tactical bottleneck here. This guy goes down, it all falls.

When it comes to chicanery, no one in the pubbie party or representing a pubbie can hold a candle to a RAT.

The fact that the Bush team was able to pull it off in 2000 is all that more remarkable.

“”The will of the electorate is going to come out one way or the other.”

Counting fraudulent ACORN “votes” of non-existent people, is not the “will if the people”.
It's called election theft, and fraud. This lawyer and Franken both should be in jail today.

>> In truth, not every break had gone to Franken, but so many had that it made the difference.

Anything goes when the elections are that close. The attorney should remind himself often that the voters are most responsible for the outcome.

“Now it was clear: The Coleman side didn’t have clean copies of their own evidence. Campaign workers had marked up their original copies. The Franken team was under no legal obligation to provide their copies ? and Elias wasn’t about to; after all, this was Coleman’s case to put on.”

Huh? Why couldn’t Coleman’s side subpeona that “best evidence”? Something doesn’t make sense here...

They lost because they never realized they were in an all out war.

I would have have thought that the Florida election in 2000 would have told everyone that the only fail way to go about this is to have a do-over if the tallies came within the margin of statistical error, or alternatively to have the legislature resume its Constitutional role of choosing the Senator.

NO one need wonder why Keith Ellison and Betty McGollum always support what ACORN wants and always oppose voter ID in voting...

I can't get the whole article to come up.
But from what I can see, it looks like Coleman simply hired the wrong lawyer.

("...his mother was an election judge during the 2008 election. A colleague concluded Trimble was "traumatized" by the event." How much experience does this guy have anyway?)

Couldn’t Pawlenty have put an end to this before the ‘Rat fraud machine got fully cranked up?

My first big disappointment with President Bush was that he didn't push very, very hard for electoral reform after defeating Al Gore. Based on their recent rhetoric, it would have been hard for the Democrats to oppose ballot reform, ID reform, recall practice reform -- the whole thing.

Voter rolls should be verified, voter ID should be required, ink should be applied to a finger, and primaries should be closed to non-party members.

The fact that neither party really wants the system to be airtight makes me weep for my country.

The difference is that we have values and want to win fairly. They just want to grab power "by any means necessary". We're looking for rules to follow so we do it right, and their attitude is:

Rules? In a knife fight?

We need to fight fairly but as dirty as needed to get the outcome that reflects the election results, and we need to do the paperwork PERFECTLY so we don't mess it up. The GOP should have specialists whose only job is to make sure these recounts reflect honest results, with no data "lost" by the other side.
