The Right Wing

With everybody’s attention now diverted due to Obama’s victory, the DNC is trying to steal a congressional election in Minnesota.  The race was called for Republican Senator Norm Coleman who won the election over Democrat Al Franken.  When the race was called Coleman had won by 725 votes, a close call but a number most would amount to be clear.  Al Franken, in true Al Gore fashion demanded a recount which which has not commenced yet.  However, due to Democrats from a couple precincts claiming they initially reported the wrong number or simply misplaced some ballots, Norm Coleman’s lead is already down to 206 votes.  Sound suspicious?

The rate of correction in Al Franken’s favor is alarming as it seriously outpaces correction rates in other races both current and in the past.  To see how far out of the ordinary this is check out this piece  in the Wall Street Journal.  Some of the excuses for this increase in Al Franken votes are quite amusing.  One lady claims she "forgot" about 32 absentee ballots in her car.  In two other places the election officials claim they accidentally "miscommunicated" the results and sent Al Franken another 346 votes.  This isn’t all however, now Al Franken is trying to decide voter intent by claiming any ballot where it isn’t clear who was voted for must have meant to vote for Al Franken if they voted for Obama.  Never mind Franken trailed Obama in the polls by double digits which makes it quite clear that anyone who voted for Obama did not necessarily mean to vote for Franken.

The recount has not started yet but don’t be surprised if more shady accounts come to light and Al Franken steals the Senate seat.  Democrats are only three seats away from a filibuster proof majority and there are three races still being decided.  If the Democrats have to steal a seat they have no problem with it.  Integrity means nothing when you are trying to take this country to the Marxist left.

Update 11/19: They are now only two seats away.  Ted Stevens lost.
