ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A newly discovered group of ballots is giving a slight boost to Democrat Al Franken's chances in the disputed Minnesota Senate race, but it still isn't enough to undo the incumbent's persistent lead.

Ramsey County officials found the 171 ballots yesterday, just as they were wrapping up their recount. After the votes were tallied, Franken gained 37 votes on incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman's lead.

And I saw on FOX that there were also 31 more votes than people who voted!! ACORN is at it again. You can bet it’s not a republican fudging the ballots.

Funny how they only find ballots when Franken is behind.

Just a few more recounts and then they’ll have an official tally. Just as soon as Franken goes over the top...

I simply cannot believe folks would vote for that angry, ugly man.

I thought that was where they were finding the extra ballots (Franklin's behind). Heard his pet gerbil discovered this batch.

My guess is that they’ll keep finding ballots until Franken is over the top. But on a side note - why Stuart Smalley even in the running for a United States Senate seat?

I predict Franken will win with 110% of the votes counted.

The Democrats send the best they have into politics.

Republicans send those who have the time.

One is compelled to wonder where these ballots had been since election day. Did they fall from he sky, having been swept up by a whirlwind on 11/4, perchance? /S

Where do they “find” these ballots?

If you can’t beat them, join them. I just found 155 Minnesota ballots in a kitchen drawer, and went out and bought a gerbil.

I have about 500 unfound ballots in my car. If Coleman goes down, I will bring them to the election officials.

Has there ever been a case of “found” ballots favoring a Republican?

Perhaps “The One” created them with a wave of his cigarette-stained hand.
