Now, for the GOP's next illusion, they're going to make over 100 ballots in the Senate election in Minnesota disappear!
The Al Franken/Norm Coleman election standoff continues a month after the polls closed, and now it's been discovered that 133 ballots from a heavily Democratic precinct in Minneapolis have vanished without a trace.
The election is close enough that 133 votes make a difference, but these ballots are gone. Nowhere to be seen. Disappeared into thin air. Just dropped off the face of the earth!
The ballots from that precinct were contained in 5 sealed envelopes. Now one of the envelopes cannot be located. Anywhere.
Is anyone actually naive enough to think this was not deliberate? It's clear that the Republicans intentionally lost the ballots. Not a shadow of a doubt about that.
The Republicans rigged the election, and they might get away with it. It's a fact that they rigged it. The Minnesota GOP has a history of this - and worse. (Much worse.)
In addition to this (and the Minnesota GOP's history of violence against opponents), the Republicans had tried suppressing votes in that precinct by trying to halt college students from voting legally.
If Coleman is declared the winner, there will forever be a taint on his Senate career, all because everyone knows he won because it was rigged. I already know Franken got many more votes than has been acknowledged so far, and I'll go to my grave knowing that he actually won.

The problem with your theory is elections in Minnesota are run by a Democrat and his minions.
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to burst your bubble, but the governor of Minnesota is a Republican. All his major appointees are Republicans.
ReplyDeleteThe Gopher State hasn't elected a Democratic governor since 1986.
Secretary of state, who serves as elections chief, is an elected official. That's Mark Ritchie, a Democrat.
ReplyDeleteApparently Scheffo you do not understand.. Election judges must have equal numbers from each party.
ReplyDeleteWhich party do you think is "losing" the Dem ballots?? Hmm, I wonder..
It warms my heart every time you post a reply, Ann. The funny man is down about 250 votes, let's see how many "lost votes" suddenly turn up.
ReplyDeleteLooks like "the funny man" won Scheff.
