In one scene, quadriplegic Mike Brickley of Bloomington is shown lying in bed -- with his head resting on a Minnesota Vikings pillow -- as he pleads with officials to count his vote. "I may be a quadriplegic," said Brickley, 46, as he stares into the camera and speaks in a halting voice, "...but we are still someone, and we deserve to have our votes counted."

What tactic is he using for the sympathy ploy....the fact he's a quadriplegic or a Vikings fan?

Democrats do not care about the rule of law. Democrats rule by seeking to manipulate emotions. Justice based on emotions is tyranny.

"...but we are still someone, and we deserve to have our votes counted."

If "we are still someone" then your biggest problem is you have been infested by the Borg Collective.

If you are going to make a calculated manipulation of my sympathy reactions, at least you could do it in proper English.

Does any one of these sad sacks think that maybe - JUST MAYBE - the best way to maintain the dignity that they are protesting the loss of is to avoid acting as tragic show ponies for some power-mad psychotic?

I thought that the ballots are secret. if so, then how can these people know their ballots were miscounted?

..but we are still someone

Yeah, right up until those with Al Franken's worldview decide you're nothing more than a "useless eater."

This taking advantage of others’ mistakes and misfortunes is exploitation at its worst and lowest. Even Al Gore’s 36-day temper tantrum from 2000 is classy compared to this.

Unless, of course, you voted for the other side. Then your votes can be thrown out, you personally can be harassed, physically and verbally abused and your property vandalized. Other than that, the voter's will is sacred.
