Alleging that his support comes from the least educated and intelligent segment of society, Minnesota senatorial candidate Al Franken (D) insisted that a box load of over 3,000 late ballots be included in the recount.
“These poor people were duped by the oldest Republican dirty trick in the books,” Franken lamented as he displayed a flyer indicating that Democrats were to vote on Wednesday, November 5. “Stupidity should not be grounds for disenfranchising voters. These late votes must be counted.”
All but two of the more than 3,000 ballots Franken presented were cast for him. Independence Party candidate Dean Barkley was the choice of the other two.

Stupidity should not be grounds for disenfranchising voters It certainly isn't grounds for disqualifying Minnesotans from running for office!

Franken lamented as he displayed a flyer indicating that Democrats were to vote on Wednesday, November 5.It only took frankin 30 seconds to print it up, too. If stupid voters were dumb enough to vote for him, they'll be dumb enough believe his flyer crap, too.

Excellent John.
Did you hear the CEO’s of Honda and Toyota testified in D.C. today? They traveled from Tennessee to D.C. in rickshaws.

No wonder McCain lost. Repubs voted the 1st Saturday in November.

Well, if late votes are going to count, I think there are some Coleman supporters out there who could still get out there and vote today!

“Stupidity should not be grounds for disenfranchising voters.”
Otherwise, Democrats would never win.

"Alleging that his support comes from the least educated and intelligent segment of society"That's quite an endorsement.
And yes, I would think it would have to come from there.

I disagree. I think only taxpayers should be able to vote.
Those who actually earn enough to be payers.
