should Al Franken receive back pay?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Can anyone please explain what makes Franken's victory illegitimate and why Coleman is clearly the real winner? (Please note that this question has absolutely nothing to do with the 2000 election so don't mention it in your reply.)

I never said Coleman was the winner. I would just like all of the ballots to be counted accurately.

And in what way weren't they?

Good news! They were!

And unlike critical states in the 1876 and 2000 elections.

Please don't bring up that red herring and let them divert from the point.
