And we will keep counting and finding votes until that happens too.

[edcoil]

Keep counting until the “D” wins is today’s way.

Why the “R” don’t stop it is beyond me.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Will Carter be certifying the vote?

>>>>Al Franken’s campaign predicted Saturday that the comedian would prevail over incumbent Norm Coleman (R) by a margin of 35 to 50 votes<<<<<

Utterly disgusting.

Will Coleman demand another recount? Or just roll over and play Republican?

Yucchh.

[wolfcreek]

REDO!

[darkwing104]

This is only acorn's dress rehearsal for 2012 and the one's reelection.

Based on the mess with absentee ballots....I’d like to go ahead and just outlaw them completely unless you are a state department worker or DOD military guy. I’ve never seen such a mess.

And as for the way that the state handled this affair....there are more competent folks working for the SEC (sadly) than the state election board.....but just barely.

[rodguy911]

This one will be in the courts until the rats find a lib/rat judge.

[angkor]

Forgot to mention, those Minnesotans who voted for this disgraceful person Franken as their US SENATOR (!!!) are completely reprehensible.

The lunatics are now running the asylum.

[Papabear47]

It seems that the modern Rino party is perfectly happy with the way Dims are running things,after all they have been taking us in the same direction for quite a while.

[al baby]

Redo with purple ink no mail in ballots all paper and let idiot savants do the count

[al baby]

purple ink is for the voters fingers

"The lunatics are now running the asylum."

I don't even think there's an asylum anymore....

[vetvetdoug]

Minnesota is as bad as the Democrats in McNairy County, Tennessee. It seems that all of the residents in the nursing homes that are invalids there vote Democrat every election absentee...

[Ken H]

Thank you, Ben Stein.

Will Coleman demand another recount? Or just roll over and play Republican?

I am sure that the honorable statesman, John McCain, would encourage Coleman to step aside for the sake of bipartisanship and the good of the country...so the healing process can begin. He would probably add as an aside that after a while the paddling becomes kind of fun, in a twisted, self-hating sort of way.

Do you realize that many states and counties are going 100 percent to vote by mail, which is tantamount to everyone voting by absentee ballot? They are doing this for reasons of cost and convenience, often with the approval of Republicans. Republicans generally favor absentee voting and vote by mail because it encourages seniors to vote in higher numbers, and they ususlly vote majority Republican.

Why the “R” don’t stop it is beyond me.

There is a decreasing difference between the two parties. The R's have been incrementally merging their political ideology with the socialists Democrats to expand the voter base. They are essentially one Republicrat party.
