"Doggone it, felons like me!"
Is there a way to get him out of office based on this info?
That’s WHY Obama wants to WELCOME ILLEGALS!
Obama doesn’t vote any investigations into ODD voter patterns - like when MORE people VOTE in a country than there are people!
Minnesota got what they deserve. It shouldn’t have even been close enough to worry about.
They wanted a liberal idiot, they got one.
oh, geeze. the odds against the sunrise would have been greater.
I’m sure Bambi got his share Too.
Ping!
Duh? The recount put him over the top!!! The democrats are good at cheating on the recounts!!!!
Why are we surprised?
There were many, many other instances of voter fraud, most perpetrated by the democrats during the “recount” that led to Coleman losing.
The biggest problem was, however, that Coleman is a loser and didn’t fight fire with fire.
He just rolled over and died even after he had legally won the election.

Ellison wants to ban photo ID as requirement for voting
http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/ap/index.cfm?page=view&id=D8SKGI6G1
Requiring photo IDs to vote in federal elections would be banned under legislation introduced Wednesday by Rep. Keith Ellison, who said such requirements disenfranchise minorities, the poor, women, elderly and young people.
“While photo IDs seem harmless, they are in fact the modern day poll tax,” Ellison, D-Minn., said in a statement.
Ellison, who serves on the Judiciary Committee, got an important backer for the bill, as the panel’s chairman, Michigan Democrat John Conyers, signed on a co-sponsor.
Ellison proposed the bill the day after the chief of the Justice Department’s voting rights division, John Tanner, apologized at a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing for saying that aging is not a problem with black voters because they die before they become elderly. Ellison and other Democrats grilled Tanner at that hearing.
At a National Latino Congreso in Los Angeles earlier in the month, Tanner had discussed state laws that require photo identification for voting, saying that elderly voters disproportionately don’t have the proper IDs.
“That’s a shame, you know, creating problems for elderly persons just is not good under any circumstance,” Tanner said, according to video posted on YouTube. “Of course, that also ties into the racial aspect because our society is such that minorities don’t become elderly the way white people do. They die first.”
Tanner had also been criticized for clearing a Georgia law requiring voters to show government-issued photo IDs at the polls. A subsequent photo ID law was upheld by a federal judge last month, and the U.S. Supreme Court will consider Indiana’s photo ID law, which is similar to Georgia’s, this term.
Ellison noted that people do not need a photo ID to vote in Minnesota.
“In Minnesota we go to great lengths to make voting as inclusive as possible,” he said, arguing that has helped with voter turnout. But advocates of voter ID laws argue they’re needed to prevent voter fraud.
Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said that requiring a voter ID helps preserve the integrity of the voting process.
“The right to vote is one of the most fundamental liberties we have as Americans,” he said. “And to protect that right, we must ensure that those who vote do so legally.”
“modern day poll tax,”
No, that would be if we made you pay to vote with a check and produce an ID to verify your check.
Watch a leftie’s head explode: ask them if they believe kids should be “forced” to show valid photo ID before purchasing cigarettes. Or does that “disenfrachise” them?
You need ID to fly to Chicago, cash your SOSH security check or buy a can of spray paint if you look too young. so...what’s the big deal? The only people opposed to a photo ID to vote are groups who would profit from the ease of ineligible voters(IE illegal aliens,felons,ect) being able to vote.
I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I say!
Rather a catchy campaign slogan.
did I miss something — why are illegal votes even being counted?
Take a lesson to heart: Democrats will do ANYTHING to win. Anything!
The only reason the voting process isn’t as secure as the state lottery is because the politicians do not want it to be so.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED.
Imagine my surprise.
Incredible
What put him over the top was the recount of “found” ballots, in other words fake ballots planted during the recount. Every state should pass a law that disallows ballots found after the original count.
