Stealing an election is Minnesota, just like everyone on the right knew would happen. The State Canvassing Board...
"...has been flagrantly inconsistent. Last month, Mr. Franken's campaign charged that one Hennepin County (Minneapolis) precinct had "lost" 133 votes, since the hand recount showed fewer ballots than machine votes recorded on Election Night. Though there is no proof to this missing vote charge -- officials may have accidentally run the ballots through the machine twice on Election Night -- the Canvassing Board chose to go with the Election Night total, rather than the actual number of ballots in the recount. That decision gave Mr. Franken a gain of 46 votes.

Meanwhile, a Ramsey County precinct ended up with 177 more ballots than there were recorded votes on Election Night. In that case, the board decided to go with the extra ballots, rather than the Election Night total, even though the county is now showing more ballots than voters in the precinct. This gave Mr. Franken a net gain of 37 votes, which means he's benefited both ways from the board's inconsistency."
This is how Democrats steal elections in America. It is a shameful practice, and it occurs in full view of the public, which makes it even more galling. This has occurred in other elections, most recently the Washington state governor's race. And it is always the same, keep counting "ballots" until the Democrat is ahead, and then immediately halt the counting and certify the winner as quickly as possible. Hopefully Norm Coleman has the money and the chutzpah to keep fighting this thing. And if he loses, he can always lobby for some rich donor to put him on the radio so he can bash the opposition... Voters in Minnesota deserve better.
