Franken camp claims four-vote lead (Oh no Franken might win :()
Politico ^

Posted on 12/05/2008 6:36:58 PM PST by gocats5

With all but one precinct re-counted in the Minnesota Senate race, Franken campaign attorney Marc Elias is claiming Franken leads Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) by four votes.

The number from Franken's internal tally does not include the Minneapolis precinct where 133 ballots went missing. The Franken count includes the thousands of disputed ballots that both campaigns objected to during the recount process.

It looks like after all the challenges are resolved Coleman will be winning by 42 votes. Unfortunately if they find the missing 133 ballots, or decide to use the machine count numbers for that precinct Franken will win by 4 votes, this is a disaster!!!!!

This wouldn’t be the first time Franken has claimed to be ahead according to his “internal count”.

Huh???

“With the recount virtually complete on Friday, Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie said Coleman led Franken by 787 votes. Local newspapers put Coleman’s margin at about 200 votes, tallying ballots that had previously been challenged.”

Four votes or four thousand votes, whatever it takes, Berendt will create them.

Franken campaign’s internal tally – which showed Franken up 22 votes at the end of last night – is based on the presumption that all of the challenges have been frivolous, and would be rejected by the Canvassing Board.

Franken campaign’s internal tally – LOL

The Democrat tactic is to keep counting until you get the lead, and then stop all counting.

Franken’s only “internal count” should be of the time reamining until his next round of medications. I hope the hospital attendants realize he’s missing and come get him back soon.

Franken (Soros) should pay for a new election.

Demonrats always cheat until they “win”. Basic rule when dealing with democrats...Rule One: Democrats believe abortion is great, therefore any lesser crime is no biggie.
