MN recounts
Magically found ballots in trunks of cars, possible voter fraud, etc
Minnesotans, tell us what you think about this. |

Over the last week the differential has decreased from 750 or so votes in favor of Coleman to 206 in favor of Coleman last I checked. I don't get the impression that anything is wrong; people are just finding errors. Coleman initially said that he trusts the process; then, when the majority of results started favoring Franken, that's when he changed tone. \
It does seem they're making a bigger deal of these discrepancies nationally than they are here. That's just my perception. Our Secretary of State seems to have his shit together and the process will likely go smoothly as far as that goes. I expect the recount will be contentious with both sides doing their best to create controversy when possible; that's just the way this race seems to have gone. |

I still don't understand why they'd let Franken supply volunteers and lawyers to do the recount themselves. Seems a bit.. unethical.

"Elias said the Franken campaign alone will deploy 1,250 recount volunteers _ including 250 lawyers_ across the state as part of its recount effort."

They didn't report Coleman's numbers; I'm sure Coleman would be at least close to matching that. It's not like those are the only people in the process, I mean.
There's this for some potential clarificaton: Quote:

As I mentioned in another thread I still don't understand why America doesn't have an independent neutral agency that oversees the election process. It really doesn't make any sense to me that partisan people from either party are allowed to count ballots and run the process.

SO the MN Supreme Court ruled unanimously for Franken. It's time for Coleman to concede and Pawlenty to seat him.

Yeah just what we need is another radical far-left nutjob in the Senate.
What on earth is wrong with the people in Minnesota who voted for this fool? He was funny as a comedy writer. He will not be so funny as a Senator voting on things that affect us all. |

If Norm Coleman lost to Al Franken, it is entirely the fault of the GOP. Franken is a competent individual, but even I figured, despite the political climate favoring Democrats by default, that Franken would be the easiest to beat last year. He still won. Maybe if the GOP could stop being hijacked by a bunch of fundamentalist retards who think tax cuts and fear mongering is the answer to success, you wouldn't have to witness your party imploding on a daily basis. 60 votes. I hope Obama pushes through his health care agenda like there's no tomorrow. |

Tax cuts are the answer to a lot, but not everything.

Let your fellow Republican dickheads know that.
You shouldn't be getting a significant tax cut unless you are low/middle class. Period. |

I'm a registered Libertarian who voted for Obama. There are more than two parties you know. Oh, and as for tax cuts, a large part of the reason California is going bankrupt is because it's the poster child for the "tax the rich" mentality. Works great until the rich start leaving the state, businesses move out, and the economy hits a snag. |

You reluctantly voted for Obama. It's quite obvious given your posting.
Tax the rich across the board (i.e. EVERY STATE) so they can't jump ship. I'm tired of rich folks assfucking the system. |

Yes I said blatantly that I reluctantly voted for Obama. I voted for Badnarik before that. How does that make someone "a Republican"?
How exactly are "rich folks assfucking the system" again? Because if you mean because they have better stuff than other people, it's because they're rich. Really it's starting to sound like you simply want full redistribution of all wealth to everyone equally. Are you in favor of a communist America? |
