COLEMAN CAMPAIGN NOT HAPPY WITH FRANKEN'S GAIN IN RAMSEY
Mike Roman, Coleman's lead representative in Ramsey County, says he remains unsatisfied with the apparent emergence of 12 new ballots in a St. Paul precinct, but that the campaign's only recourse might be to take the issue to court a step that would be made by campaign officials superior to him.
The issue could be important because, as of Thursday afternoon, Franken had picked up at least 13 more votes than he did Election Day.
The concern arose late yesterday when the total number of ballots sorted in Ward 3, Precinct 9 was discovered to be 1,759 12 more than the 1,747 that Roman said was tallied on Election Day. The precinct was recounted this morning with the same results.
But, unlike the process being done in other counties, Ramsey County Elections Manager Joe Masnky is not attempting to reconcile such differences in total ballots cast.
"I'm confident that these numbers are accurate," Mansky said of today's results. He had no explanation for the discrepancy in total ballots.
Roman said, "We're not satisfied at all. It's very difficult to challenge this situation because they're limiting this to voter intent on each ballot."

Lighten up. These are from the dead whose votes weren't counted the first time around.
Tim is acting like Mccain, oh don’t want to offend anyone! VOTER FRAUD AND NO ONE, NO ONE CARES! say goodbye to democracy!
Sorry, those went in the furnace.
You are right, there will be “in your face” fraud nationwide and the media will of course not ask any questions. And the next thing will be violence or at least threats. It would not surprise me to see armed Acorn or Nation of Islam volunteers, probably as part of Obama’s domestic army, “guarding” polling places.
A good question for the Bush Justice Department.
Hell, I think Iraq had less voter fraud when we took care of Hussein and gave them the first Democratic vote.
I believed you’ve answered the question.
Just following the dem motto—vote early, vote often. And it’s never questioned.
I am so PISSED OFF about this that I can hardly stand it!
And the consequence of that may well be revolution.
That’s because there are more Socialists in Minnesota.
