BREAKING NEWS: COLEMAN FOR U.S. SENATE PRESS RELEASE: “FRANKEN CAMPAIGN ATTEMPTS TO STUFF BALLOT BOX AT THE LAST MINUTE”

By Michael B. Brodkorb | November 10, 2008

ST. PAUL – In a stunning move today at the Hennepin County Canvassing Board meeting, Franken attorney David Lillehaug attempted to stuff the ballot box by demanding that absentee ballots that have been rejected now be counted. This tactic was rejected by the canvassing board unanimously.

The following is a statement from Cullen Sheehan.

“The Al Franken campaign today tried to stuff new ballots into the ballot box in a brazen, last minute act of desperation. We have raised concerns repeatedly about these types of tactics by the Franken campaign.  Today is further evidence of their intent to use whatever means necessary to counter the decision of the people of Minnesota.  We applaud the actions of the Hennepin County Canvassing Board in rejecting this blatant, desperate act.”

    Norm Coleman has tried to reject the will of over 500 voters already.

    Does anyone think this provides him any position from which to comment on the ongoing election proceedings?

    Oh Leroy – you schmuck. The only one trying to reject anything is you, Franken and the democrat machine. This isn’t Chicago. Get over the fact that you don’t like it that Norm actually has the will of 1.2 million voters and, going into Wednesday morning, had 725 more voters supporting him than Franken. It’s bad enough that 32 suspect votes got through the system – how much more do you want? Oh wait – you want to steal the election like you guys tried doing in Florida in 2000. I get it!

    Leroy, virtually all of Franken’s post-election “votes” came from just three precincts. Almost half of those (a gain of 246 votes) came from one precinct in Two Harbors. Plus we have another 32 that were riding around all week in the back of someone’s car.

    This is statistically possible but not very likely. For a staistical breakdown:

    I’m wondering if these ‘adjustments’ are coming from DFL strongholds is coincidence, incompetence or if the DFL just isn’t certain how many votes they’ll need to manufacture votes.

    Gary – I’d bet the latter.

    Personally, I think it’s D- All of the Above.

    We need to revamp our voting system. All of these problems need to be addressed. I agree that every vote needs to be and deserves to be counted. Just think that if abNORMal were behind he would be screaming to high heaven about all of the same things. You can’t tell me any different. Remember this as well. Norm is a sitting Senator because Wellstone was killed.
    Yes, I would like to see Norm lose but I am not a Franken fan either and I know that Dean wouldn’t gain enough for a win at all.

    Barkely was a senator because Wellstone got killed.

    Coleman is a senator because he got elected.

    I heard that they used to stuff ballots in the now defunct Soviet Union. Communist Party 100%, the opposition 0%. It looks like Franken and his supporters think that the Communist system was a good role model for their efforts to overturn the will of Minnesota voters. They seem to be willing to lie, steal, and cheat their way to victory. Heaven help this nation if men like Franken cheat their way to the top.

    The communists are “out of the closet” which should be a tip to America that they have tons of confidence……the fix is in…….gird your loin!
