Through the repeated numbers of recounts, both in Washington State, where the Democrats, even after 3 recounts, continued to magically "find" more supposedly "uncounted" ballots all in heavily Democratic areas (King County), shockingly almost all for the losing Democratic candidate and now in Minnesota, where, despite repeated recounts showing Coleman the winner, uncounted ballots are again "found" in another heavily Democratic stronghold (the Mesabi Range area) it would not be unreasonable to conclude that there is enough skullduggery afoot wherever Democrats are involved to simply require another election.

Of course, given the repeated clown acts that have thus far marked the Obama regime, another election would be the LAST thing the Democrats would want as "Barack the Crock" is merrily proving unprecedented ineptitude in running the country and a breathtaking inability to choose people with some modicum of integrity to staff his government. Currently, any voter in his right mind would run, not walk away from any candidate wearing the Democratic label. No...another election is only what the Republicans want. Hmmmm! I saw some gris-gris dolls in a shop in St. Paul recently that bore an uncanny resemblance to Norm Coleman.

Nawwww...they would NEVER stoop to that level...would they?

You don't know what you're talking about. There was one mandated recount in the Franken -Coleman race during which lawyers for both parties were present at each location. The canvassing board which ruled on acceptable ballots was majority republican. Coleman has just finished challenging the recount in court and it dosen't look good for his chances. Minnesota ran as clean an election as is possible. It should be Franken supporters who are pissed off for the initial undercount of hundreds of Franken votes.

Obviously Jayman you don't live in Minnesota, as I do. There were no repeated recounts finding Coleman to be the winner. The state's laws require a recount, and there is no provision for a new election. No voter fraud has been committed and the recount has been conducted in a painstakingly fair fashion. No new election will be granted. All this blather is simply a stalling tactic by the now out of power Republicans. These scenarios are not being forwarded with any intent to help get the true representation of Minnesota voters. It is all about their national agenda. There is probably more outcry about the slow resolution of this race outside of the state than within it. None of the candidates excited the voters much. It was Normie's race to lose, being the incumbent, and he managed to do just that. He lost a gubernatorial race to a wrestler and many feel that the only reason he became our senator at all was the tragic death of Paul Wellstone just a couple of weeks before the last election. Norm is a good politician, but not one who engenders any loyalty, as he seems to have little of it himself.

Try some facts Jayman

Those of us who live in Washington know that your claims are untrue. No "uncounted ballots" were magically found after each recount. One set of ballots were found in King County early in the initial counting process. The subsequent gains in recounts actually came about in places like Chelan Cty which is a GOP stronghold. Using your logic, it would never be that the GOP would stoop to miscounting Democratic ballots in counties where they control the process...

Nawwwww, they would NEVER stoop to that level would they? After all that would probably require them to enter into a consent decreee with the GOP Secty of State Reed if they got caught....

Wait a second, the WA GOP DID have to enter into a consent decree with the GOP Secty of State Reed...

Maybe it's instead the suddenly uncanny ability of Republicans to lose votes.

The Minnesota recount (just one, not many--you are confused by the daily reporting of incomplete results) was, after all, handled by a Republican administration.

Also, you may not have noticed--I imagine you get your news from Fox, basically--that Obama is quite popular. Judging by all the recent opinion polls, some two-thirds of people would vote for him right now.

I'm sorry the people got tired of Republicans and voted out a bunch of them. I like that part about no modicum of integrity, etc. That was certainly not a problem in the Bush regime, was it? Nope. Whole lotta integrity there. Doing a heckuva job, Brownie.

Not in WA state

In WA both the GOP and the Dems "gained votes" during the recount. the really curious thing was that the distribution of what counties each side gained was not predictable. IOW the Dems tended to gain more in GOP counties than in Dem counties

Net net though, the Dems gained more than the GOP, even though the GOP hand mounted an aggressive "lnock out the voter" campaign prior to the election. And in this case "knock out the voter" is the applicable term since the WA GOP ended up having to enter into a consent decree with the WA Secty of State - himself a Republican - to avoid being prosecuted.

Your post is the most accurate of all that are included in this list. Altho no longer a resident of Minnesota, much of my family still is. I follow your politics and wish Illinois were as squeaky clean. Burris just got permission to start a defense fund for his actions and statements during the Blago episode.

Would some person or group please file the suit that demands the right of representation in the U. S. Senate for Minnesota? The farce has gone on long enough. We need that senator to be seated.
