Felons Voting Illegally May Have Put Franken Over the Top in Minnesota, Study Finds By Ed Barnes July 12, 2010
The six-month election recount that turned former "Saturday Night Live" comedian Al Franken into a U.S. senator may have been decided by convicted felons who voted illegally in Minnesota's Twin Cities.
That's the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.
The final recount vote in the race, determined six months after Election Day, showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes -- fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted, according to Minnesota Majority's newly released study, which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records.
Furthermore, the report charges that efforts to get state and federal authorities to act on its findings have been "stonewalled."

Yank him out by the roots.
As disgusting as the fact that the Dems stole this one right in front of everyone is the fact that the GOP stood by and let them.
now thats funny !!
No successful application of restoration of rights, no voting should have been allowed.
Suprise suprise!!!!!
why is this not surprising? i’ll bet they ALL voted for Frankenstein.
STUPID people elected Franken......the STUPIDEST of the STUPID>
Confirms what I have believed about thems, they WILL steal elections if given a chance.
What a surprise. (yawn)
As for the headline, Franken(stein) has been over the top for years.
Imagine the U.S. Senate being a place for talk radio failures.
Don’t have to imagine any more.
Voter fraud has made it happen.
Ya think? [/s]
Can’t wait to hear how many of the dearly departed cast their votes for Franken.
The elephant doesn't change its spots.
“they WILL steal elections if given a chance.”
Actually, if these rats could count like a 5th grader they wouldn’t have lost in 00 and 04. Their math was inaccurate or they would have found the votes to win.
bingo- I blame the GOP and Coleman for fighting back like little girls on this issue and a large percentage of others...
NOTHING WILL BE DONE... pawlenty will not even make a comment... if this were republicans... there would be executions over this.
LLS
Shocking, Dems stole an election. /s
“As disgusting as the fact that the Dems stole this one right in front of everyone is the fact that the GOP stood by and let them.”
Republicans are little more than invertebrates. They never fight, just talk a lot.
