With most ballot challenges settled, Franken leads by 48 »
Posted By Ciera-Marie 11 months ago in Political News
With most ballot challenges settled, Democrat Al Franken holds a 48-vote lead over Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in the U.S. Senate recount, according to a Star Tribune analysis of a draft report from the Secretary of State's office.
That is down from a 251-vote advantage that Franken had at the end of the day Friday, before the Secretary of State's office allocated votes from ballot challenges that the two sides had previously withdrawn.

"Just what the senate doesn't need; another complete moron in Franken (assuming he wins). The state of politics in this country is getting worse by the day."

How is this any different than those in congress presently? It is just another fish in a pond of fish.

I'm rooting for Franken to win, we need all the insane maniacs we can get into power.

It's that much closer to total a cluster F**K of idiots in power. Plus, I'm hoping that Franken wins by cheating, that too is good for our country, especially if we all know he cheated and he gets away with cheating. That helps prove we no longer have a democracy in the USA. It's all good for the country, don't ya know!-

I just watched the 10pm news. Somebody just found ANOTHER box of uncounted ballots someplace. The Coleman lawyers are claiming there are at least another 300 or so that were counted twice (for Franken.) Bottom line...........no winner will be declared this year. They are now talking mid January but that will probably change too.

It appears that Washington State is running this one too.

A few years ago, we seen this exact same kind of BS over the Washington State governor's race. The election between (Dem) Christine Gregoire and (Rep) Dino Rossi. In the initial count, Rossi wins, so the dems were allowed to keep counting and finding votes till they LOST once again. So back to counting and finding, so the dems LOSE yet again, the dems were allowed to keep on counting and searching until finally the Dems came up with enough BS that they finally won! Rossi asked for an investigation and perhaps a re-count on his behalf, but he was denied the investigation and denied the re-count. I suspect we are seeing the same kind of BS here with Coleman & Nitwit Franken. Hey Coleman, you don't stand a change, not when it comes to voter fraud, the scales are tipped far to the democrats favor in CHEATING! America is well on it's way of losing it's democracy. -

How is it possible the GOP is letting this crap go on? In Wisconsin we've had problems with voter fraud in Milwaukee and Madison. In both cases there were more ballots cast than actual voters living in the respective communities. We found a case of ballots all marked for the Dems in a warehouse where blank ballots were being recycled. When attempts to question workers about this they were all on medical, vacation or other projects and not available for the Feds. Once again we see plain and simple to vote Democrat is to support corruption, lies and fraud. I know some of you will start with the war or some other broken record. But as a longtime resident of Wisconsin, voter fraud is terrible. I think rather than making this a Misdemeanor charge them with sedition or some other threat of capital crime. By casting fake ballots and stealing elections, they hurt the fabric of our nation. It's time for the GOP to get serious. But we never will. We believe wrongly that the DNC will eventually become honest. Not even when they rewrite history.

Am I that stupid to believe that Al Fraken is really leading of course not? These phoney created votes is what put this where it is. We need to have laws to outlaw recounts to end this nonsense.

Suddenly a month after the election all these new Al Fraken votes show up that is some majic trick. Recounts are bad the first result that comes in ought to be the final results and if you don't like run again the next time. -

What "crap"??? What "suddenly"??
Reply
The STATE is conducting a VERY detailed, VERY planned out RECOUNT, and it has been going on for OVER ONE month!
For whoever does win - Franken or Coleman - the recount will have been THOROUGH and AUDITED and VERIFIED.
So, there is no "Crap" and there is no "Stealing" by anyone.
Get OVER yourselves and get OVER the fact that a Democrat might actually win an election - honestly. -

There's no doubt in my mind that Franken is going to win this thing. you could see this coming a mile away. If it comes down to

a tie and before they get the chance to do the coin flip as the way to settle this someone will find more votes for Franken behind someones couch or in a glove compartment somewhere.You had to see some of the votes that were challenged and given to Franken what a joke.You guys in Minnesota that can't vote right deserve what you get. -
