Me: With all due respect, Franken did NOT steal the election from Coleman.

You: In fact, he did. See Democrats and Vote Fraud: On the Road to Rigged Elections. Scroll down to the section titled "Minnesota's Fraudulent Senator."

I will grant you that if there was a problem with the election, it occurred before the ballots were casted with the registration rolls not being properly culled. That's primarily what the Soros-project is all about. But the other assertions are canards, to-wit:

1) The "discovered errors" were nothing to be alarmed about. In the Klobuchar-Kennedy race in 2006, there was a shift of a few thousand votes between the reported totals on election night and the final certified votes. Not unusual.

2) The main error people point to occurred in Two Harbors, where an election judge simply forgot to place a "1" before the rest of the numbers when recording the total from the election tape, resulting in Franken getting another 1000 votes. Simple human error.

3) The ballots-in-the-back-of-the-car story is a canard that will not die.

4) While an argument could be made that the canvassing board favored counting ballots they shouldn't have, almost all of the votes of the board to count the ballots, which included Republicans, were unanimous. Not much to support a "Franken theft" here.

I'm as disappointed as the anyone else here that Franken is my Senator. But the fact remains that he is in Washington because Coleman (a) ran a horse-crap campaign; and (b) his lawyers in the recount were complete idiots who allowed themselves to be outmaneuvered. Change either one of those two scenarios and Coleman wins. Regards.

You overlook the crucial fact that 17,000 more ballots were processed in Minnesota than there were actual voters. This was enabled by the decision of Soros-connected Secretary of State Mark Ritchie to disable the state's vote reconciliation program. Details here.

Thanks for the correction on the back-of-the-car story. That does appear to have been incorrect. I still maintain, given the 17,000 extra votes noted above, that Franken's seat was clearly stolen.
