The fix was in from the beginning, if there was a fix. If you “discover” (or manufacture) a bunch of votes for the first recount, it’s very hard to sort out what’s real or not later on. One huge problem is that there’s no clear standard for hand recounts. You can count Xs as votes, half filled-in circles as votes, pick and choose when there are two half or fully-filled circles, pick and choose when there are two Xs, choose to listen to or ignore explanatory sentences, and so on.

Point is, you don’t have to bother suddenly finding ballots in your trunk to steal an election. You can do it by tallying up a bunch of votes the machines never would have counted.

I’ve still never been given a decent explanation as to why Franken completely defied statistical odds by flip=flopping the lead whule Coleman stood still.

if the ‘found’ ballots in the democrat poll workers car was discarded as they should have been, then Coleman wins.

Hey, you run a crap campaign like Coleman did, this is the result. Good luck, MN! I hope you have a sense of humor, because your new senator doesn’t.

The left would not be in a position to steal elections if the GOP would start running Reaganites instead of milquetoast libs.

Norm Coleman voted for the TARP bailouts.

Let that be a lesson, GOP’ers.

They managed to find someone dumber than Jesse Ventura and crazier than Paul Wellstone to represent them.

True.

“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.”

You can say that again. Was up there a couple of years ago visiting a sis-n-law and her family. They fit in quite well with the other ding bats we met.

God help the Union.

Everyone don’t worry. The Pubes have lost the filibuster in the Senate, but we CAN COUNT ONE all Republicans to stand united. /s

Just a few short months to the next census.

Minnesotans can “vote with their feet”.

The Dems now have a fillibuster proof Senate.

Only when they all show up for work.
The GOP should (yeah, we know about the GOP and "should") keep the pressure on them. Make them all show up, all the time, no breaks.

This was lost the minute Coleman decided to put his faith and trust in the courts. If you are not a liberal, you will get no justice there. Ever since the 2000 election, every single contest that has been stolen by the 'Rats after the election was over and went to the courts has been resolved in favor of the 'Rats, in spite of mountains of evidence of fraud and "irregularities". Once the result is "in the books", the courts won't touch it. Just check out the WA state 2004 governor's election for proof.

This is why Soros and his band of rogues started their "Secretary of State Project" those years ago. They knew if they got control of the election apparatus in the states, they'd have total control, because they knew once an election was "blessed" by the SoS, the courts won't mess with it. So getting their hands on the SoS offices handed the 'Rats the keys to the kingdom.

Does Coleman plan on taking the case to the the Federal Court of Appeals or the SCOTUS?

That third party candidate sure was a great idea! Really taught Coleman a lesson!

Stuart has a bad temper and needs to be taunted by Freepers into acting out. He has no sense of humor.
