They are now finding that any ballot, whether votes are cast or not, means a vote for Franken.

I can contest the vote of at least one of those Obama/Franken voters. She has the mental age of 11. How can I talk to the state election board?

I have posted on this subject before -—

How is it that “residual votes”, like hanging chads and provisional ballots seem to ALWAYS favor democrats?

As far as I know, no-one has been able to answer that...

So I think we know the REAL answer.

Sort of like the residual smell in an outhouse.

Ding ding ding!!! You hit the nail on the head. If you are mentally unable to correctly fill out (or read) a ballot, then you have no business voting. Period.

“WTF is the spineless republican party doing about this? “

yes, why is it that the election can be stolen in these unfair ways?

Coleman voted against his party and with McCain on no drilling in ANWAR. I won’t miss him.

They are attempting to again prove that Democrat voters are stupider than Republican voters.

That should be more stupider. Sheesh!

African-American voters, who appear to have deliberately skipped voting in the Coleman-Franken Senate contest and, two, the presence of a smaller number of Democraticleaning voters who almost certainly intended to cast a vote in the Senate race but for some reason did not do so

So the recount board is to read their minds and determine who they might have voted for, had they voted? Insanity.

In the land of morals, we without them will win. You with them are suckers.

That will be commonplace in Obamanation, where the real suckers will be those who pay their mortgages and credit cards each month.

i can’t get a feel for what this report is saying, but I AM getting bad vibes.

Don't speak professor, huh? Let me translate: "Franken wins."

Why pay this bozo his consulting fees to steal the election? Wouldn't it be so much more cost effective to just ask Franken how big of a margin of victory does he want?
