Minneapolis Star-Tribune ^ | 11/7/08 | Patricia Lopez

Is it over yet?

[DouglasKC]

The reason for the change? Exhausted county officials had accidentally entered 24 for Franken instead of 124 when the county's final votes were tallied at 5:25 Wednesday morning.

Oh sure they did. Now if they can just discover two more similar "mistakes" Franken is in.

[drzz]

exactly. Not to say Kennedy’s awful weakness against Cuba and the USSR. LBJ said “Time for change, yes we can” and they did it.

[hoe_cake]

I simply cannot believe folks take Al Franken seriously.

They are either mad as in crazy or mad as in angry. Pitifully angry.

[DBrow]

This is why the left dislikes electronic voting. With electronic tallies, every time you look in the register, the same number is there. With paper, it’s oddley different every time you count.

Oh, look, I found an EEPROM chip on the floor in the bathroom, and it has 1600 votes for (D) on it!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Sounds like the fix is in.

[Egon]

Minnesotans must be complete morons for this to be even close. Where was that idiot Jesse Ventura from again?

Excuse me, but only half of Minnesotans must be complete morons-- and they seem to be mostly concentrated in the population centers. Probably not much different than in your state.

Funny how recounts ALWAYS seem to find votes for democrats - never for republicans...

[popdonnelly]

There’s no way the comedian loses this election.

[Safrguns]

I bet he wins...

He will be the icing on the cake.

Cant wait to hear him to so eloquently represent his party in the famed halls of congress.

[Right Brother]

In every case like this, the newly discovered votes always favor the Democrat, yet no one ever questions this obvious improbability. America seems content with voter fraud and rigged elections. We are doomed.

[VOA]

Pine County's Partridge Township had revised its vote total upward --
another 100 votes for Democratic candidate Al Franken

"...revised its vote count..."

from The Obama Vote Fraud Playbook...
Never say vote fraud. Say "revised its vote total upward".
And never forget no matter how buzzed you are...this term is
always applied for our guy, the Democratic candidate.

yes, that's a parody.
But parodies only work because there's a truth behind them.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

How’d the Iron Range vote on Franken/Coleman ?

[gimme1ibertee]

Right...I agree.
This is really sad that this race is this close. Coleman should have won by a landslide.

[longtermmemmory]

notice how democrats manage to “find votes” the most often.

now we have provisional ballot fights.

[gore_sux_2000]

Hey that is great to hear! Glad that there are a few decent ones left who do the right thing, unfortunate that we don’t often see that on the national stage.

[westmichman]

Time for the Supremes to act.

[KansasGirl]

I bet nobody finds “extra votes” for Coleman.

[VOA]

Minnesotans must be complete morons for this to be even close.

Most folks in the rural areas are fairly sane and decent.

Get in the Twin Cities and you get plenty of liberal nuttiness.
My brother left his native Oklahoma thinking he was a Democrat.
After two years at grad school at U. Minn (the ag-school section
in St. Paul)...he realized he was a fairly conservative Republican.
Because he'd see what REAL Democrats are like.

[IbJensen]

That’s not the only deficit that Franken has. He is mentally unbalanced which will make him a perfect fit in the organization of liberal pansies that we’ve elected to ruin our nation.
