Minnesota State Canvassing Board review of challenged ballots in the U.S. Senate race

[depressed in 06]

It makes perfect sense to me that anybody who cannot mark his ballot correctly would vote for Franken.

[ScottinVA]

As I see it, the majority of the 5,680 challenges remaining are Franken ones, which would trend to Coleman’s favor.

I’m holding judgment until I see how the rest of this unfolds. Coleman will retake the lead when the resumes adjudicating Franken’s challenges.

[ScottinVA]

when the resumes = when the board resumes

[Prokopton]

Getting 92% of African American’s Vote. When are we conservatives find a way to attract atleast 20% of African American votes?

How about we concentrate on getting 92% of unhyphenated, just plain American's vote.

It should be -

I was sad because I had no shoes to throw, until I met a reporter who had no brains!

You can slice and dice all you like.. the presumption is fair.

I'd move. And have.

Until what you´re suggesting happens, the governed are consenting.

What I'm suggesting is that those in government need to remember where their power comes from and where all real power is held.

[WOBBLY BOB]

gubermint is like Adrian Peterson. You can’t contain it, you can only hope to slow it down.

[Ikemeister]

Tim Pawlenty is basically a younger version of John McCain, except he’s wimpier.

Coleman is a milquetoast too, so maybe it will be better for the party in the long run if he is replaced with another looney Dem.

In MN ever bogus vote counts!

[Cheetahcat]

Looks like the pig faced Pinko has stole his way to the house seat with the republicans sitting on their hands. Congratulations wimps you let another American Hater in to rule.

[mcorbett]

What I still don't know is what happened to the other 4 or 5k ballots that were originally challenged by each candidate. They whittled down their challenges to 400 or so for franken and 800 or so for coleman to make it easy for the board.

Have they added back in those? and who actually had more challenges from those?

"...but I still have faith in truth, justice and the American Way!"

That American Way is dead.

[ScottinVA]

Looking at the figures on the Star-Trib page, it looks as though they’re still out there. As of 12:29 EST, there are still 5,634 challenges to go.

Those already adjudicated are:

696 challenged by Coleman and
419 challenged by Franken

[ScottinVA]

All — check this out. This ballot says it all:

Thank you for the info.

[Reagan is King]

We are officially a banana republic. Count the votes until you get the result you want.

I'm hearing nothing from the pansy-a** Republican Party leadership about this. They should be on national tv, radio, etc daily complaining about this and at least taint the POS that is about the steal an election. What a bunch of eunichs.

[VanillaBlizzard]

They have been saying that the lead will likely change a few more times but I know personally that Franken and his cronies will not lose this now that they know they’re this close...

[jurroppi1]

so where’d you move to that makes you so superior?

[I see my hands]

"so where’d you move to that makes you so superior?"

so who'd want to know about that makes you so inquisitive?
