Good grief.

Is there no decent, patriotic statesman of a Democrat on the planet.

Guess I just answered my own question....I just pray he is not allowed to steal it from Coleman.

In 1948, Lydon B. Johnson did the same in Texas - finding “lost” ballots for the Senate race. He was then called Lying Johnson.

This will be razor thin, whoever wins.

Exhausted officials wrote down a wrong number?

Do they use paper ballots in Minn? Why would there be such chance for human error if they use optical scanners, touch screens, or even the Florida style punchcards? All of those are supposed to produce clean re-counts, aren’t they? Just wondering...........

Oops! Only a couple more hundred left to find! Keep recounting!

I’d puke, but being this is an article about Franken, that would be redundant.

Thios was a common practice in Texas, republican and democrat. John Connely was his campaign manager and he spelled out the details in several interviews. Johnson had lost before when the other guy, “found” enough votes to win.

They use Optical Scanners for hand filled out ballots in all the MN precincts.

There is no question as to who will win. It will be Franken. Since the race was a statistical dead heat, any of the corrections should mirror the election results. That they (always) seem to benefit the rat, you can conclude that it is only a matter of time before the democrat machine steals another Senate seat.

Attorney Barr McClellan, the father of our dear Scotty the Bush Basher, wrote a book about Lyndon Johnson’s voting fraud and how he had ordered Kennedy’s assasination. Everything was known to his Texan friends for years. Very violent manner of making politics

So...it takes 1 day to count the votes originally but it's gonna take over a month to count them again?

PATHETIC!

A couple but they aren't on a national stage.

A few months back my democrat township supervisor faced a recall that he won by a wide margin. He wanted people to be sure so he called for a recount that left him with a 1 vote margin of victory. He was reelected in this election with a 17 vote margin.

This happened in Washington State for Gov and I am sure they will keep finding votes for the Asshat.

I just saw the LBJ edition of American Experience. About half way through it was clear to me that LBJ certainly had personal motive. He was driven to the power and both Kennedys had him in check as VP. Looked like Kennedy would be in office for 8 years and LBJ’s career was over for all practical purposes.
