A newly discovered group of ballots is giving a slight boost to Democrat Al Franken's chances in the disputed Minnesota Senate race, but it still isn't enough to undo the incumbent's persistent lead.

Ramsey County officials found the 171 ballots yesterday, just as they were wrapping up their recount. After the votes were tallied, Franken gained 37 votes on incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman's lead.

Through yesterday, Coleman's margin was 303 votes. However, the numbers can still shift as the last counties wrap up their work this week.

Bag of Uncounted Ballots Found in Bridgeport www.nbcconnecticut.com ^ | 11-05-10 | BY Bob Connors Posted on Fri Nov 05 2010 09:27:35 GMT-0600 (Central America Standard Time) by Red Badger

In what has become one of the stranger twists in an already bizarre Governor's race, a bag of uncounted ballots was found in Bridgeport Thursday night.

Republican officials were approached by Democratic operatives and told about the surprise ballot bag, according to Bridgeport GOP Chairman Marc Delmonico.

“It adds to the inconsistencies from the Democratic Party in Bridgeport. It just keeps adding to it,” said Delmonico. “There’s nothing odd about it; there’s certainly nothing missing about it,” said Ed Maley, a representative for the Democratic Party.

This is the way the Rats win close elections. Keep counting votes till you “find” enough votes to put your guy over the top then stop counting and declare victory-—works every time.

They're going to investigate this, just as soon as they figure out how 900 FBI files got into Hillary's bedroom.

With 573 newly discovered ballots roiling the second recount in the race for governor of Washington, the Republican Party went to court Thursday seeking a restraining order that would halt the counting of those votes.

This is ridiculous! There ought to be a one-hour time limit after the polls close to turn in all ballots. If any are found after that, they are shredded on the spot.

Phrase to be used in any discussion of vote fraud:

"........ as in such places as Chicago, Seattle and Detroit".

I'm sure the old Swedish Democrat families in King county are proud of their company ~ but say, weren't their Great Grandmothers all hookers or something?
