Will Al Franken Steal The Election in Minnesota?
With a possible filibuster-proof majority on the line, the Coleman/Franken battle in Minnesota has become a very important race. As time has passed, and the recount begins, Republican Candidate Coleman has watch his lead dwindle with each passing day.
Now, Al Franken is even beginning to call what street ballers would call "ticky-tack" fouls. (and that is not even considering the magically appearing car loads of pro-Franken ballots that keep popping up).
As reported by the Star-Tribune in Minnesota, the above picture is of the only so far challenged ballot.
"The bubble beside Norm Coleman’s name appeared to have both an X and a squiggle in it, but the Al Franken campaign wants the state Canvassing Board to rule on whether it should count. . . Eight of the 24 precincts had been counted by 1:45 p.m., and the only challenged ballot, in Engdahl’s view, was clearly a vote for Coleman. Nevertheless, the Franken campaign was allowed to seek a second opinion."
