What hath Gore wrought?

What a farce. 2 months after the election.

Haven’t seen much news on this lately. Must mean Coleman still has a chance.

By Allah I decree that the seat must be instead given to a black person because the prophet Mohammed came to me in a dream and spaketh it unto me.

Where are we going?

What is this basket that I’m in?

Who is this red guy with the goatee and pitchfork?

[I see my hands]

It's all over but the shouting.

I suppose a run-off election is out of the question? Let the legal voters decide rather than the lawyers/judges.

[Gondring]

Now, have they checked each absentee ballot to confirm there were no deaths before election day?

[Gritty]

They will just keep counting until Franken wins.

The state board overseeing the recount ordered that the ballots be counted, and the state Supreme Court agreed — although justices added a few wrinkles. A majority ruled that either campaign can keep any ballot out of the mix with a written objection, leaving spurned voters the option of going to court to reinstate their ballot. -Associated Press

This is beyond absurd -- the cost!!

[Greysard]

It is truly a shame on the whole country to be unable to answer a simple question - how many ballots were cast for each of just two guys? Every 3rd world country can do it.

This case exposed the electoral process in the USA as chaotic, unreliable, and ultimately undemocratic. The officials, apparently, can come up with boxes and boxes of previously unseen ballots (only when they are needed!) and nobody is in jail yet. And they are still haggling about which of the previously buried ballots should be allowed to be counted! Democracy galore... if election officials permit it.

There has to be a runoff election here. A third party candidate took something like fifteen percent of the vote and what you have now is a situation in which the signal/noise ratio has totally gone south.

[SunkenCiv]

Have a great day, all.

[DemonDeac]

They are making the Florida Board of Elections seem competent. What a fricking joke.

[weegee]

They need to know how many votes to steal, er manufacture, er find.

Seeing as how drawing an X through a ballot FOR Coleman negates the ballot (or turns it into a vote FOR Franken) and an X through a ballot FOR Franken is STILL a vote for Franken, they must be confused on just what they need to do to the remaining ballots to secure a victory that will pass the smell test.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Just like the Democrats did in Washington State; Keep counting and changing “voter intent” till the Democrat wins.

As soon as the count officially favors the Democrat, stop counting and declare the “winner”.

Oh, I almost forgot, make sure the “Canvasing Board” has an all Democrat, selective agenda.
