MINNEAPOLIS ELECTIONS DIRECTOR ON ELECTION JUDGES: “THEY DID MAKE MISTAKES”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | January 12, 2009
“Still, Minneapolis elections director Cindy Reichert said in an interview a few weeks ago that election judges made mistakes that prevented assurances that votes weren’t counted twice.
‘They did make mistakes,’ she said of election judges.
Reichert declined to talk further about the issue last week.” Source: Star Tribune, January 12, 2008

I for one, am less astounded than others around here seem to be by the notion that election judges are fallible. My question is simply this.
What’s the remedy?

Team Coleman’s lawyers are zero for EVERY court filing since they got spanked by the Judge on the radio ad case.
There’s no reason to assume their luck will change.
Nate Silver, over at FiveThirtyEight(dot)com analyzed that story, too. Here’s part of it:
At the end of the day, Team Coleman’s lawyers are going to lose – AGAIN – and Bill O’Reilly is going to have to someday say: “Senator Franken.”

Didn’t the Coleman campaign spend a good deal of time arguing that any suggestion that local election officials were anything less than perfect was offensive and a disgrace to our elections process?

HAHAHA! Legal advice from our ratty plow truck driving street lawyer!
Cheeto boy & Sons Esq., LLC HAHAHAHAHA!!

Well, well, well.
I defer to Scrotee’s superior legal knowledge; after all his Drunk Driving experiences, he knows well the in’s and out’s in the court house.
Especially after the times he’s spent in the drunktank.

Where are you getting your information from, Cheeto boy?
It’s the same place that has the records of your “combat related disability”, isn’t it?
Sure it is…have another Cheeto, boy. And then get out there and plow some parking lots!
Bwahahahaha!

Scrotee, why did you post a link to full frontal male nudity, here on MDE?

Yep, which is why they’re arguing the other way now, because arguing both sides of the issue depending on how they’re doing is what the Coleman campaign does.
I can’t imagine why they’re doing so badly.

They’ve both done a great job of arguing both sides. Franken’s let every vote count-what, I’m leading-stop the count.
I don’t care much who wins. My choices were Bad and Clown.
What I do care about is that all errors are investigated and fixes are put in place to mitigate them for next time. Then Voter Confidence can at least win.

Good point ManGenius, except Senator Coleman was and is an excellent senator.
January 12th, 2009 at 3:38 PM
Tommy, cause he knew you would like it and wouldn’t be able to get the picture out of your head? Just guessing…

If “mistakes” were made, as they probably were, how does that square with SOS Ritchie intentionally attempting to steal the election for Franken as you accused him of on your radio show?

What is an “intentional mistake”? Either it’s a mistake or intentional, and if it’s intentional, you need to prove it.
January 13th, 2009 at 7:28 PM
not according to danbrome. You can say whatever you want and never have to prove it. Seriously DiscordianStooge, you really aren’t following the danbrome rules well at all.
January 13th, 2009 at 11:36 PM
According to Pete, nothing he disagrees with can be proven true. Makes it impossible to have a discussion with him on important issues that affect us all, on both sides.
January 14th, 2009 at 2:45 PM
danbrome, I disagree with you because I ask for facts not fantasy? Get real son. You can’t even provide one link to prove what you say is factual.
Discussion? Isn’t that supposed to be two sided, not you preaching and other people nodding their heads in agreement?
It is sad that you can’t handle having someone question your lies. I know that Democrats live and breath lies – maybe you should go be a troll on one of their blogs.
