COLEMAN CAMPAIGN NOT HAPPY WITH FRANKEN'S GAIN IN RAMSEY
Mike Roman, Coleman's lead representative in Ramsey County, says he remains unsatisfied with the apparent emergence of 12 new ballots in a St. Paul precinct, but that the campaign's only recourse might be to take the issue to court — a step that would be made by campaign officials superior to him.
The issue could be important because, as of Thursday afternoon, Franken had picked up at least 13 more votes than he did Election Day.
The concern arose late yesterday when the total number of ballots sorted in Ward 3, Precinct 9 was discovered to be 1,759 — 12 more than the 1,747 that Roman said was tallied on Election Day. The precinct was recounted this morning with the same results.
But, unlike the process being done in other counties, Ramsey County Elections Manager Joe Masnky is not attempting to reconcile such differences in total ballots cast.
"I'm confident that these numbers are accurate," Mansky said of today's results. He had no explanation for the discrepancy in total ballots.
Roman said, "We're not satisfied at all. It's very difficult to challenge this situation because they're limiting this to voter intent on each ballot."

And the loss of confidence in the electoral process continues. Ailinsky would have been proud.
Would someone please find those 1,000 republican uncounted ballots left behind the furnace at the polling place in Old Shakapee.
Is Tim Pawlenty on vacation?
I’m sure carter would be available to observe the recount ... if he was needed, that is.
North Carolina took that crown from us two years ago after the Duke Lacrosse Frame.
As a Virginian now in a "blue" state, why ahould I bother to vote for a candidate that I already know will lose? That is the attitude in thhe 9th district, so they don't even bother to run a 'conservative' candidate because they know he/she will be beaten in a landslide. It's happening more and more: unopposed candidates running.
Anyone have any doubt that the votes will be found? All of them that are necessary for Franken to win.
Until people are outraged enough and endict those responsible for this, nothing is going to happen other that the Communists completely take over, which is happening. Talk about cynicism, the law does not matter anymore.
I’m hoping to start legislation making conspiracy to commit voter fraud into a capital offense (and hopefully have a maximum incarceration time too!) here in my state!

And, what Dems don't get is that if the election is that NOBODY'S vote counts if the election was decided on fraud; and
The more successful vote fraud there is, the less ANYONE will have to say about it. (Think judges and Justice Dept here.)
Our entire system of government relies on fair voting; and, if that is successfully confiscated by Marxist Obama and his Democrat allies, then elections have no further consequence.
.
What we need is a Republican district to “find” some ballots or just unfind some Franken ballots claiming they miscounted. There would be a firestorm in the press.
And the soft coup continues. Lets just get to the shooting part of this civil war and get it over with.
Can the law step in here and make sure any LAWBREAKING is punished with a nice, stiff prison sentence?
I know such things don't bother the leftists, but the rest of us think it would be nice if we could maintain at least a little faith in the democratic process.
Not only is he available, but he already has his Jimmy Carter Official Election Results Seal of Approval prepared and ready to mail.
