STEARNS COUNTY OFFICIALS COMPLAINT ABOUT “FRIVOLOUS” BALLOT CHALLENGES BY TEAM FRANKEN
By Michael B. Brodkorb | November 24, 2008
Election officials in Stearns County are complaining about the “frivolous” ballot challenges during the recount from Team Franken.
“Stearns County officials say their goal of completing the county’s part of a U.S. Senate recount today is in jeopardy.
With only 16,000 of 79,000 ballots left to recount at the start of the day, Stearns County Auditor-Treasurer Randy Schreifels said he was pretty confident things would be wrapped up by the end of today.
But as of 10 a.m., there already had been seven ballots challenged where voter intent was very clear, he said in a news release.
Schreifels called the challenges ‘frivolous’ in the news release and said most of them came from one challenger affiliated with Democrat Al Franken’s campaign.
One ballot was challenged because the oval wasn’t completely blackened, and another because there was a small mark elsewhere on the ballot that was not near the U.S. Senate race, Schreifels said.” Source: St. Cloud Times, November 24, 2008

It is clear that those Franken observers are anti-America, and should be investigated.

They are anti-America by definition…… they are Franken supporters (they are also probably anti-women, anti-homosexual, racist and porno lovers)…. or as Al calls them: his “base”.

Anti women? Anti-homosexual? Racist? Porno Lovers? Really?
Damn you are smart.
But your ignorance is astonishing!

danbrome … …. do you live in a cave?
Al has a long, long history of mocking women, homosexuals, asians and he wrote porno….. it’s common knowledge..
November 25th, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Al Franken has the heart of a lion, and is passionate about fighting for women, gays, asians, and those who write porno.
I get that you are perfect and all, but politics requires the type of commitment that Al represents.
Is there anything in YOUR history that we should know about?
Your arrogance is astonishing!

Hey danbrome You are easily astonished, which would explain why you so eagerly bought Frankens crap. Al represents extreme partisonship, divisiveness and far left politics. But what’s even more troubling is he lacks the maturity and temperment to be taken seriously, much like yourself.
Your astonishment is astonishing
