What Maplewood giveth, Minneapolis taketh away. Elections officials in Minnesota's largest city today discovered that one precinct came up 133 ballots short of election day totals, resulting in a net loss for Democratic challenger Al Franken of 44 votes.

He’ll just end up as a FOX news contributor all.
aw, who cares about ballots when they’re planning to steal it in the Senate anyhow?
WELCOME TO FREE REPUBLIC’S MINNESOTA PING LIST!
120 MEMBERS AND GROWING...!
FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT ON OR OFF THIS LIST!
Those ballots went where the missing socks go.
Even if Coleman remains ahead in the count, what's to stop Dirty Harry from declaring the race too close to call and therefore needing to be decided by a new election, or believing assertions by the Franken people that he had more votes?
Minnesota has the best damn conservative minded folk in the country!
Just not enough of us to overcome the DFL and RINO numbers. ; )
Wow, I expect that in your local media things are really sounding farcical these days.
I thought the state's low point was electing Jesse Ventura Governor.
Al Franken has finally managed to be funny?
Franken must lose, because Bozo the Clown has no business in Washington, DC, but neither do most of those idiots.
Minneapolis discovery costs Franken 36 votes
... also ...
The cure for the spread of Blue Blight is Conservatism.
“Once the recount ends with Coleman winning (again), Coleman should very publicly declare victory and go about his business as senator right away.”
Ah...just one minor point, Coleman already IS the incumbent senator.
Will this EVER end! Sheesh!

If he fails in this attempted theft and loses again, we should make it a point to hound franken's ass on a daily basis for this fiasco.
Now I heard on Fox that they found 131 votes for Franken, that were lost.
Outside of Cook County, it’s a fine state.
They gave 44 to Coleman, so they could invent 131 for Franken,,,I just heard they found 131 or more for Franken that were lost...SHEESH NOW DC CONGRESS NEEDS A ZOOKEEPER.

And to think we all believed that Ohio was going to be the National embarrassment this election...
As I understand it, tht 22 vote lead of Franken’s is according to his camp, not the official records. I don’t think he’s been ahead yet in any of the counting or recounting. Except in his own and his camp’s mind, such as they are.
In fact, at this point I heard Coleman is up slightly more than 300 votes ... so given all the ‘found’ Franken votes, it seems Coleman actually picked up more votes in the recount than he started with.
