Al Franken Funny Business: The Dems Stealing Of The Minnesota Senatorial Seat

It looks like the Dems have succeeded in stealing another election. Adding to their success at stealing the Washington State Gubernatorial race in 2004, they have now successfully stolen a Minnesota Senate seat.

This should be a grave concern to all Americans about how the democratic process will play out in the future. Do you like having your vote stolen away from you? Do you like being disenfranchised by voter fraud organizations such as ACORN? Do you like Democrat controlled boards and courts selecting your candidate despite your vote to the contrary?

You need to answer these questions for yourself and then dedicate yourself to doing something about it. Right now, it looks like a foul-mouthed clown in Al Franken is going to be a U.S. Senator thanks to the efforts of lawyers and judges who are sympathetic to leftist Democrats, despite Norm Coleman's clear victory on Election Day.

Writing for Town Hall, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann have a few observations you should be aware of:

The recount actually wants to count ballots in twenty-five precincts that would bring the total of votes cast higher than the actual number of people who voted!

And how could the people running the recount come to a total that is higher than the number of people who voted on Election Day? They are counting votes twice. And who do you think those double votes are going to? Al Franken.

More:

In Ramsey County, 177 more votes have been counted than people who voted on Election Day. The canvassing board, in effect, is admitting that it is counting fraudulent, duplicate ballots! In some cases absentee ballots, particularly from troops serving overseas, have been counted. In other cases, not. One ballot, on which Franken was crossed out and replaced by "Frankenstein" was counted as a Democratic vote.

Clearly, the Democrats will do anything to "find" votes, even votes that were not properly cast or even cast at all.

Apparently, when a ballot was challenged, a copy was made to facilitate examination. But, in many cases, the canvasser failed to label the ballot as a duplicate. Then, in the recount, all the ballots were counted, ensuring that the challenged vote was not only counted, but counted twice. What makes all of this suspicious in the extreme is that each of these errors inured to Franken's advantage and eroded Coleman's election night lead until the Democrat could claim victory.

And let's not forget the ballots that were found in a pollster's car as well as other statistical "errors" that were "discovered" after Election Day. Oh, and also let's not forget that the same courts that allowed the Franken campaign to have these votes counted denied the Coleman campaign from getting their own challenged votes counted.

As Josef Stalin said: "It does not matter who casts the votes. It only matters who counts the votes."

Norm Coleman won this election and the Democrats came in after the buzzer to try and steal it. It looks like they will succeed with the theft.

Be very concerned about this, America. Be very concerned.

Mischief In Minnesota: Dems Still Working To Steal Senate Seat

The Op-Ed Board at the Wall Street Journal is now looking into the recount oddities going on in the Senate race up in Minnesota. There are too many strange things happening for anyone to look at it and not think anything of it. Given that the Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie is a partisan Democrat and has ties to the fraud-laden voter registration group ACORN, alot of what has been happening up there simply cannot be chalked up to "oversights" and "mistakes."

From the WSJ:

The vanishing Coleman vote came during a week in which election officials are obliged to double-check their initial results. Minnesota is required to do these audits, and it isn't unusual for officials to report that they transposed a number here or there. In a normal audit, these mistakes could be expected to cut both ways. Instead, nearly every "fix" has gone for Mr. Franken, in some cases under strange circumstances. For example, there was Friday night's announcement by Minneapolis's director of elections that she'd forgotten to count 32 absentee ballots in her car. The Coleman campaign scrambled to get a county judge to halt the counting of these absentees, since it was impossible to prove their integrity 72 hours after the polls closed. The judge refused on grounds that she lacked jurisdiction. Up in Two Harbors, another liberal outpost, Mr. Franken picked up an additional 246 votes. In Partridge Township, he racked up another 100. Election officials in both places claim they initially miscommunicated the numbers. Odd, because in the Two Harbors precinct, none of the other contests recorded any changes in their vote totals. According to conservative statistician John Lott, Mr. Franken's gains so far are 2.5 times the corrections made for Barack Obama in the state, and nearly three times the gains for Democrats across Minnesota Congressional races. Mr. Lott notes that Mr. Franken's "new" votes equal more than all the changes for all the precincts in the entire state for the Presidential, Congressional and statehouse races combined (482 votes).

Statistically, things are not adding up properly.

And why is Ritchie's involvement making this whole thing even more suspect?

One of Mr. Ritchie's financial supporters during his 2006 run for office was a 527 group called the Secretary of State Project, which was co-founded by James Rucker, who came from MoveOn.org. The group says it is devoted to putting Democrats in jobs where they can "protect elections." Mr. Ritchie is also an ally of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn, of fraudulent voter-registration fame. That relationship might explain why prior to the election Mr. Ritchie waved off evidence of thousands of irregularities on Minnesota voter rolls, claiming that accusations of fraud were nothing more than "desperateness" from Republicans.

If the Democrats are allowed to steal this election, it will signal the opening of a very
bad era in American politics in which the people can have their votes cancelled out by the fraud mechanisms being out in place by leftist groups such as MoveOn.org, ACORN and the Secretary of State Project.

I hope everyone is watching.
