Minnesota Dems Attempt to Screw Over Coleman

Really...quite disgusting that the deep blue state of Minnesota is now trying to steal an election away from a decent man like Norm Coleman (Who has been through a lot in this election, including vandalism at his home and death threats) and give it to a truly hateful man like Al Franken. Who, I might add, is a total nut job.

Here's the story.

When voters woke up on Wednesday morning after the election, Senator Norm Coleman led Al Franken by what seemed like a relatively comfortable 725 votes. By Wednesday night, that lead had shrunk to 477. By Thursday night, it was down to 336. By Friday, it was 239. Late Sunday night, the difference had gone down to just 221 -- a total change over 4 days of 504 votes.


This alone is amazing. If you get a recount, it's odd that there would be a 504 vote swing either way. Especially only 4 days later. But...

Amazingly, this all has occurred even though there hasn’t even yet been a recount. Just local election officials correcting claimed typos in how the numbers were reported.


...There hasn't even been a recount yet, and that seems to make this amazing comeback, all the more amazing.

Virtually all of Franken’s new votes came from just three out of 4130 precincts, and almost half the gain (246 votes) occurred in one precinct -- Two Harbors, a small town north of Duluth along Lake Superior -- a heavily Democratic precinct where Obama received 64 percent of the vote. None of the other races had any changes in their vote totals in that precinct.


Fishy. Obama and his lackeys that disgruntled about opposition to his policies that they need to over throw a Republican senator in a Democratic area?

Indeed, the 504 total new votes for Franken from all the precincts is greater than adding together all the changes for all the precincts in the entire state for the presidential, congressional, and state house races combined (a sum of 482). It was also true that precincts that gave Obama a larger percentage of the vote were statistically more likely to make a correction that helped Franken.


Such BS. This should be heavily investigated. I will be thoroughly angry if Coleman ends out losing his seat after all of this.
