Franken was inaugurated because a court ruled that the rules governing the handling of ballots should be rewritten. I have been an election judge for 4 or 5 major elections. I now know that is a waste of a day.

If the election is a blowout no one cares whether anyone follows the rules so you don't need election judges.

If it's close the judge throws out the rules the election judges are there to enforce.

Therefore you don't need election judges, you just need couriers. Better yet you can have the Secretary of State just estimeate how each precinct ought to vote and call that done. Then you can avoid the expense of an election entirely.

pawlenty will not even make a comment...

Pawlenty is so damned late in the game on nearly every other issue, I'd be surprised he is even aware of it. And that mushy turdball wants to be President?

I’m surprised that you all haven’t figured out that the true intent of our political parties is to establish a One World Government. There’s no reason to belittle the republicans for doing what they have been told to do.

Exactly.

When Republicans start taking some legal action instead of whining about how the Democrats stole elections while they stood by and let it happen without a whimper, they’ll get more of my sympathy and maybe support.

I hate to say I agree with you but I do. It’s time for those who oppose these lunatic socialists to step up and take action on these things and not rest till something is done.

What put Franken over the top were manufactured votes for Franken after the fact by corrupt polling personnel, and disenfranchising legitimate votes for Coleman. The illegal felon votes were just icing on the cake.

Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and Attorney General Lori Swanson are both bought and paid for by ACORN and George Soros.

To the extent that Republicans profess to be patriots, conservative, and sworn to uphold the constitution, there is every reason to belittle them when they don’t live up to it.

This is becoming worse that Venezuela! Yet where are the Republicans screaming bloody murder? The Republicans are just about to get rolled over the Kagan nomination and Obama and his cronies are are in bellyache laughter.

While I believe voter fraud tipped the scales in favor of Franken, what I can't understand is why it was even close.

He is from the extreme left, so he shouldn't have had a lot of appeal with moderates and independents.

He was a failure as a radio show host which should have made it difficult for him to even win the nomination.

His decision to run should have been laughed off as a bad joke and gone nowhere in the first place.

I don't understand how roughly 50% of Minnesota voters could possibly be that stupid.

Al rode the Baraqqi wave in Nov 2008 - Odumbo won Minn by 54000.
If that same election was held this November he’d lose by 20 points, easy.

My son-in-law lost the Mayoral race in his village because the person counting absentee ballots counted the signed ballots along with the unsigned ballots. He won, but because the votes were already reported and he would have to contest the race thereby forcing his village to re-vote, the Republicans advised him to concede. Happens in small towns as well as big ones. Dems cheat period.

How dare you question their regard for decorum!

Ya’ know, they gotta’ socialize, and it can get kinda’ weird when there’s tension in the room.

To be fair, 12% of the vote went to a 3rd party candidate, acting as a spoiler for the Republican.

So Frankenstein did not even get a majority. He won with something like 45%.

Still, that’s a LOT of STUPID people.

My guess is that the conservative vote was not energized, and stayed home.

It would be interesting to see what percentage voter turnout they had.

Still, that’s a LOT of STUPID people.

Nothing compared to this Nov. 2010, when the (D)’s will try(and likely succeed) the greatest election swindle ever known.
