Chambliss Wins Run-Off
by Matt Margolis on December 2nd, 2008 at 09:26pm
Despite an enormous amount of help from Comrade Obama, Georgia Democrat Jim Martin was handily defeated by Senator Saxby Chambliss.
And despite attempts by Al Franken to steal his election, it looks like Norm Coleman will be returning to the Senate as well.

I still have yet to understand how counting every vote equals stealing the election.

“I still have yet to understand how counting every vote equals stealing the election.”
Attempting to create votes from questionable ballots to help Franken and to disqualify votes on obvious ballots for Coleman is stealing an election since Coleman was the declared winner. “Finding” an “uncounted ballot box” days later in the car of a voting precinct manager is another tactic. The list of Democrat dirty underhanded tricks is endless.
The only thing Franken did right that I have seen is recounting the whole state rather than only recounting liberal majority districts the way Gore attempted in 2000.

Both those recounts were MANDATED BY A PREVIOUSLY PASSED STATE LAW.

What a fact-free paragraph.
1. Both candidates are “attempting to create votes from questionable ballots” and “disqualify votes on obvious ballots.” Coleman has actually been more agressive on this, since he has challenged more ballots than Franken.
2. The only person who has declared Coleman the winner is Coleman. The Secretary of State has not certified the election and will not until the mandatory recount is finished.
3. There were no ballots found in anyone’s car.
The “car ballot” story emerged Saturday from the mouth of Coleman lawyer Fritz Knaak, who, according to AP, told reporters, “We were actually told ballots had been riding around in her car for several days, which raised all kinds of integrity questions.”
Knaak never provided a source and did not return two MinnPost calls for comment. However, he was already backing off his story at the same press event. As that day’s Pioneer Press noted, “Knaak said he feels assured that what was going on with the 32 ballots was neither wrong nor unfair.”

That’s because you’re a sane person and not a wingnut.

I have deep respect for anyone who says things so well without letting the truth get in their way.

I am not surprised you voted for Obama/Biden and their fellow liberal cohorts.
Well, I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

Since the recount began, Franken has picked up 459 votes and Coleman lost 60 votes from these alleged “corrections.”
Since then, the state has been conducting a meticulous hand recount and, despite a suspicious delay from liberal Hennepin County and a suspicious late-vote discovery from liberal Ramsey County, Coleman has consistently held a lead of 200 to 300 votes. (That’s not including the 519 votes that were stolen — or “corrected” — from Coleman immediately after the election when no one was paying attention.)
Minnesota was supposed to have a very good voting system with clean elections ……………… until now.
It takes a liberal.

The Minnesota Secretary of State’s website shows a difference of 215 votes from the Nov 4th election. That is the certified tally. The 519 votes were not “stolen” from Coleman because they were never part of the certified tally.
If Franken had picked up 459 votes and Coleman had lost 60 since the recount began, Franken would have the lead right now. That is not the case. Coleman is currently leading by a couple of hundred votes, but there are over 5,000 votes that have been challenged.
No one knows who won the election and no one will know until the challenged ballots have been adjudicated.
