MN Sen Recount (UPDATE: Stuart Smalley certified winner, lawsuit forthcoming)

[Хahar 🤔]

We'll have to do better than this.

[Хahar 🤔]

1: Franken. That's an arrow? Ridiculous.
2: Coleman. That's no identifying mark.
3: Franken. Franken votes are objectively better than undervotes.
4: Franken. The "NO" is very clear.
5: Franken. No write-in box is filled in.
6: Franken. Voter intent is clear.
7: Overvote. Overvotes are objectively better than Coleman votes.
8: Franken. Franken votes are objectively better than overvotes.
9: Barkley. Duh.
10: Barkley. Duh.
11: Overvote. Duh.

[Хahar 🤔]

Pathetic.

[Хahar 🤔]

I'm not sure...

[Хahar 🤔]

Hooray for "finding"!

[Хahar 🤔]

I am very happy. We need more.

[Хahar 🤔]

I'm all for destroying democracy, but only when it benefits me!

^^^^

Franken is a standard liberal Democrat. I see no reason for any Democrat to hate him.

Nah, he's also funny.

[Хahar 🤔]

I thought it was 270.  Doesn't matter however.  It's already been determined that the final results will be Frankin by 27 votes.  You know, regression analysis by the world's foremost statistician.  Just ask him.

You know what he said.

I am confident, though, that Democrats will find a way to steal this election, in either court or the senate.

I hope so...

You advocate fraud?

As Tweed said, this election was within the system's margin of error. If it comes down to a random guess (as it has), then yes, I support fraud.

Hm, so you support breaking the law in support of your cause?  That sure makes a lot of sense.

Insofar as there's not real way of knowing the winner, yes.

[Хahar 🤔]

Come on, Sam. Either tell us or don't.

[Хahar 🤔]

They're stealing it!

What I've been expecting all along.

Why are you happy about this?

I'm a hypocrite.

This is excellent news. I had all but reconciled myself to loss.

It was inevitable and you know it.

Oh no, I really thought he'd steal this one. Fortunately, we stole it instead.

I'm proud that I voted for Bill Ayers as a write-in over Lorie Skjerven Gildea.

Dunno if I'm the first person to ask this, but why didn't you vote for Franken?

He did. ILV didn't.

[Хahar 🤔]

This is amazing.

[Хahar 🤔]

This was the 30-50 votes that his campaign was predicting though, so I'm not too surprised.

Besides, if he decides to not want the absentee ballots now, it'll seem kinda sleazy. He's the one who pushed for them so much when things weren't looking good, and now that he's ahead, he doesn't wanna count them? No go. Flip flopper!

Well, he doesn't face election for 6 years if he wins. I'd say the risk of not going through is low.

[Хahar 🤔]

If Franken comes out ahead, Coleman’s campaign might actually want to count the dismissed absentees (although they might risk lawyers being reprimanded in exchange for blatantly refusing to count them from liberal areas).  Even though there is a 95%+ chance that Franken would gain more than he would lose from including the ballots, Coleman needs as much uncertainty as possible at this point...unless he is going to use the narrow margin as justification for something else.

What are you thinking of here?

[Хahar 🤔]

the republicans will be back they will probably gain a lot of seats in 2010.

What?
