THE AFTERMATH OF TEAM FRANKEN’S LIE ABOUT STROKE VICTIM’S BALLOT: BELTRAMI ELECTION OFFICIAL “SHOCKED” BY TEAM FRANKEN’S CONDUCT; CLAIMS “THEY PICKED SOMEONE WHO WOULD TUG AT THE HEARTSTRINGS”

By Michael B. Brodkorb | November 13, 2008

The outrage is growing about Team Franken lying today when they said an 84 year old stroke victim’s ballot had been rejected because of her signature.

###

“Beltrami County Auditor Mack said she was shocked to learn Thursday of the example the Franken campaign held up.

‘Beltrami County didn’t reject one absentee ballot because signatures didn’t match,’ Mack said. ‘And we informed them of that.’ Mack said that of the 1,918 absentee ballots cast in her county, 69 were rejected, some because they had no signature or mark at all.

Mack said she is troubled that Beltrami County was singled out. ‘We go to a lot of trouble to make sure people who request an absentee ballot get to vote,’ she said. ‘It’s troubling to me that they’re identifying this happened at all when they know we didn’t reject anyone for that reason. It makes me think it’s not just an accidental report. I mean, look who they picked? They picked someone who would tug at the heartstrings. I’d be outraged, too, if that happened. But it didn’t.’” Source: Star Tribune, November 13, 2008

    Al Franken’s thought process exposed:

    1) Heard a lie about a stroke victim who’s ballot was rejected.
    2) Calls respective election officials to confirm details of the story
    3) Is told that the details of the story are untrue.
    4) Runs with lie anyway because it’s a sympathetic story, no matter it’s a lie.

    Kyle…

    Please tell me you are not that ignorant.

    This race will be decided by the voters, not by the number of times you call a Democrat a liar.

    Team Smokescreen is in panic mode, with no place to go. That is proven by every recount “update” published here.

    That is NO LIE.

    Gee, this post has been up for over 8 hours and no lame rebuttal from either Leroy or Aaron?

    danbrome, you lazy, dishonest pile of crap — please tell me you can refute the documented chain of events that I provided.

    Or are you as impotent as you are stupid?

    Team Franken is in panic mode as illustrated by the fact that they had to tell a lie about a disabled senior citizen in order to solicit sympathy for their illegal and unethical cause.

    Get fucked, you worthless turd.

    How long will it take for Carpetbagger All to dig up (LITERALLY!) a few dead people who should be allowed to vote?

    3…2…1…
