Yes, there were a number of steps used by the 'Rats in Minnesota in 2008 to enable Franken to "come from behind" to defeat Norm Coleman in the US Senate election. One of them was finding ballots in Minneapolis(?) that purportedly hadn't been counted yet. There was also a visual inspection of every paper ballot (they had all been optically scanned in the initial count which gave Coleman a lead of several hundred votes) to determine what the voter's "intent" really was. The whole plot could not have been effectuated without the acquiescence of the Minnesota Supreme Court, which was majority Dem. Coleman and the GOP were out-lawyered.
Until voter fraud is truly investigated, exposed, and prosecuted severely, this will continue.
Long prison time will cure a lot of it.
Thune went into the night with only one precinct remaining to be reported, and a 3,000 vote lead. When the vote came in from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (Lakota tribe), Johnson won by 574 votes.
There was also the Christine Gregoire / Dino Rossi governor's race in Washington state. That recount went on for days, while they kept finding "uncounted" ballots in voting machines that had already been returned to the warehouse.
After an off-cycle San Francisco election in 2001, dozens of ballot box lids were found floating in San Francisco Bay. Election officials claimed they blew away while being cleaned on Pier 29.
In 2008, a West Palm Beach Democrat politician who had won election to a state seat was found with a "Vote-a-matic" punch machine in the trunk of his car.
