Comments on: STATEMENT FROM COLEMAN FOR SENATE COUNSEL TONY TRIMBLE http://www.minnesotademocratsexposed.com/2009/01/05/statement-from-coleman-for-senate-counsel-tony-trimble/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:12:13 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tonywwk http://www.minnesotademocratsexposed.com/2009/01/05/statement-from-coleman-for-senate-counsel-tony-trimble/comment-page-1/#comment-270736 Tonywwk Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:46:55 +0000 http://www.minnesotademocratsexposed.com/?p=7746#comment-270736 Poor Norman is trying to do what Bush managed to do in 2000, but, unfortunately, Gov. Magnuson is not the SCOTUS, and Minnesota is not Washington DC. In fact, it's not even Illinois, where coming up with dirt, or votes, is a heckuva lot easier. One thing is certain, though, there are always twists and turns when it pertains to politics. My advice to Coleman is to pause long enough to read "Advise and Consent". It may stop poor Norm from trying to roll that huge snowball up a glass mountain. Norm reminds me of a failed business: "Closing our doors, forever.", United States Senate welcomes Senator Al Franken! Get over it stooges!

The very judges you cite have indicated that the Canvassing Board lacks legal authority to order county election officials to act, take testimony, hear evidence or make findings of fact. I'm so sick of asswipes like you and your constant flame wars and inane blather. It never ceases to amaze me how low you're willing to get into the gutter. I'm naming you the poster child of hope and change. You're just as empty as your side's political rhetoric. Two Putz,

Ritchie is one of four votes on the canvassing board. I have a feeling a sitting chief justice, a supreme court justice, and two sitting judges are not going to corroborate in a scheme to steal an election for someone none of them probably even voted for.</blockquote> Say, Chris?

If Ritchie was so concerned about fairness and accuracy, why did he refuse to consider 654 improperly rejected absentee ballots from Anoka County? And why did Ritchie allow more votes in 25 counties than people registered to vote, including some 170 in Ramsey County? If the answer is anything other than to stop the recount before Franken lost his "lead" then I'd like to hear it. I see the Ritchie apologists have weighed in.

No? THEN STOP SAYING IT HAPPENED LIKE IT WAS FACT! The truth is the Coleman campaign thinks/hopes that this happened. They have a suspicion at this point and nothing more. And you all agreed to the absentee ballots that were to be counted. But once you started putting two and two together and doing some math, you realized things were not going to go your way. So after everyone had agreed to what would be counted, you hand-picked 654 rejected ballots that you think should have been counted. Amazing how no neutral, local elections officials thought they should have been counted and were raising the alarm. No. It's Team Coleman wanting to change the rules after the game is in play.
