Anatomy of a theft

I don't know if any of you have been following the recount that is going on in Minnesota between Republican incumbent Norm Coleman, and Democratic candidate Al Franken. Yes the guy from SNL. Here is a list of some of the recounting that has been going on.


Norm Coleman wins election on Nov 4th by 725 votes a recount is called for.
100 ballots are “discovered” in a precinct that is heavy democrat. They all are for Al Franken. They all also happened to be time/date stamped Nov 2nd. The Democratic secretary of state accepts them.
The Dinkytown precinct recount finds 133 fewer ballots during hand recount costing Franken 46 votes. Secretary of state discounts and takes election-day results, but accepts hand count results from three democratic precincts that give Franken 446 votes.
Franken requested that rejected absentee ballots be counted, but only from selected precincts, which happen to be democrat precincts. It is granted.
Count “corrections” finally lead to Franken leading by 58 votes. Total corrections in Franken’s favor are more than all corrections in all the other races in Minnesota, combined.


Welcome to change you can believe in.
