COLEMAN FOR U.S. SENATE PRESS RELEASE: “COLEMAN CAMPAIGN INVITES FRANKEN CAMPAIGN TO AGREE ON PROPER STATEWIDE BALLOT SECURITY”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | November 9, 2008
ST. PAUL – A day after going to court to protect the legal rights of Minnesotans to have an orderly and transparent election process, the Coleman Campaign invited Al Franken’s campaign to participate in an effort to properly secure ballots before the beginning of a statewide recount.
In a letter sent last night to Franken Attorney David Lillehaug, the Coleman Campaign invited Franken to join with them in agreeing to procedures issued by the Stearns County District Court to secure ballots in counties across the state.
“The procedures set forth under the Order will help to ensure that the statewide recount process is conducted in a fair manner. Morever, the process for certifying each campaign’s representatives ensures that the canvassing process, storage of ballots, and the statewide recount will be transparent and comply with state law,†wrote Frederic Knaak, attorney for Coleman for Senate. “We are confident that you will agree to adopt the procedures set forth in the Order on a statewide basis.â€
A copy of the Stearns County District Court [click here] order, as well as a copy of the letter to the Franken Campaign [click here], is attached.

Well, well, well – ol’ Smokescreen is finally agreeing to follow the law.
Which, of course, is why republiCons don’t trust Norm – republiCons don’t believe in following the law.

So the GOP and MikeDE want the entire statewide ballot procedure to be governed by Stearns county. And Poor Dave and Roxanne who will have to worry about a key ring from hell and travel instantaneously across the state since the keys to the rooms can’t be loaned to anyone for any purpose.
Cute, Mike, of course they won;t agree to this. Fricken Hilarious.
As for the general procedures, I believe the Team Franken has been the ONLY campaign that has only asked the rule of law be followed. Why don’t you join THEM int hat simple request.

Educated folks understand it is statistically impossible for 100 votes to be uncovered and have them all for one candidate. Run the stats man. We have fraud already.

I noted the tone and belittlement that the Democrats are using on this board. Interesting. Do they know that if Al is named the winner, it will be due do fraud?
And what ever fraud is committed, has probably been done by now. Like uncounted ballots being “discovered”.

Hey Flash, why do you hate Stearns County?
As I understand it, the county auditor’s office was the instigator of this procedure. They were through this six years ago with a county attorney’s race (see the link at bottom) and they think they know what they’re doing. No one in that office has been found with ballots left in their cars for a week.

“RepubliCons don`t believe in following the law.” Who told you that, the re-elected William ‘the refrigerator’ Jefferson?

“Do they know that if Al is named the winner, it will be due do fraud? ”
And there, ladies and gentleman, is the goal of MikeDE and the MNGOP. They have no care or respect for the process, nor the law of the land. They merely want to case aspersion ont he integrity of the process so that if their guy wins, it is OK, but if the opponent wins, it is due to fraud.
“statistically impossible” Absolutely not, statistically unlikely maybe, but not statistically impossbie
Hey King, I was only pointing out the ludicrousness of MikeDE’s claim to follow the ruling, specifically, which is impossible because it is local specific and Dave and Roxanne are probably too busy to be the Key MAster for every ballot room in every county in the state. *laughing*
Again, Officials in every country, from both parties are involved in and participant of the process. Anytime you chose to cast aspersions on the process, you are denigrating one of your own.

And flash admits to the succsess of ACORN.
“statistically unlikely” ( but all too likly with libtards)

Did anyone see Richie on “At Issue” this morning-?he basically talked about the FL recount and how disastrous it was- and how we were going to show the country how it’s done…
a total hack–

Are you suggesting that YOU are one of the “educated folks”? SCARY.
Your ignorance is astonishing.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:38 PM
No, JL – it was republiCons from Mark Olson’s district that told me that.
And they said they got the word from Tom “Redistrict NOW!” DeLay….

No, it’s time to consider the novel idea that every voter be identifiable as a legal Minnesota resident, ID and all.
The left, of course, will assail our eardrums with apoplectic jeremiads of “voter suppression,” but it’d be nice that every voter be required to supply the same level of ID as every purchaser of a bottle of Jim Beam.

Didaskalos, when you get the Supreme Court to agree with you, at that point I will.
The simple fact is, the Courts have recognized republiCon “voter ID laws” as illegal poll taxes, and worse.
The fact that your ilk still brings it up, even though the Courts have repeatedly smacked you down, clearly demonstrates the GreedOverPrinciples party’s guiding philosophy:
“Laws are for OTHER people to follow.”
November 10th, 2008 at 9:58 AM
Tommy, you are simply wrong. The Supreme Court has approved Voter ID laws in some States.
We have amoung the weakest laws. Therefore the greatest opportunity to tamper with an election.
