Not surprising, but phenomenally discouraging.

Norm Coleman’s term as a U.S. Senator ended at noon Washington time today, and by evening his hopes of winning a second term had been dealt an expected but serious setback as state officials counted previously rejected absentee ballots in St. Paul.

It is time to riot in this country. We cannot stand for a banana republic. The state of MN has followed the state of WA, where rules do not matter in election recounts. Just change the outcome until you are ahead and call it a day. Sickening.

Yes, they neglected to count the “back seat” votes and the “trunk” votes and the “stacked up in my garage” votes the first several times around, but we now see that has been corrected.

Well if you don’t succeed in cheating, try try again until it comes out with the outcome that you want, the story of Al Franken. I swear, if that piece of crap enters the senate based on fraud, we mind as well all just leave this country, having that sack of crap in Washington, Franken and Caroline Kennedy, two peas in a pod

Like I have said before, America is now ruled by criminals and will be for many years. The communists have taken over. Civil war is near.

Hey Buddy, you couldn't find 6 people that would risk anything to save this country. We are the biggest bunch of male pussies next to Europe. The only people that have a slime chance to save us are the women. (Experiment) - go find 6 people in your neighborhood that will be interested in this event & support you in any type of revolt. You know the ansawer - and you know the answer for this country.

“I smell ACORN!”

I called ACORN before the first recount began.

I was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. On FR.

How do you like me now???

Sad thing is that even though this election is being stolen in broad daylight the Repubs will just roll over.

Digger, you’re right, and you’re just talking about “rioting”(protesting and maybe breaking something), not insurrection.

There will be many surprises in the next few years, IMO.
