Could Allegations Invalidate Senate Results?

Esme Murphy MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) ― Allegations have surfaced of voter irregularities involving a paid staffer of Sen. Norm Coleman, and the ramifications could have a profound effect on the outcome of Coleman's race against Al Franken.

A reporter for the Minnesota Independent, a progressive online publication, was working on a story about voter turnout when she overheard that Republican poll challengers monitoring voting at the precinct had brought in Mahamoud Wardere to help voters translate.

The Coleman campaign confirmed that Wardere is a paid member of their staff.

"I made some calls, found out his name and I confronted him and I said, 'Are you Wardare?' And he said, 'Yes, I am,'" said Priesmeyer. "At that poin I said, 'Are you working for Norm Coleman's campaign?' And he said, 'No, I am on vacation today.'"

However, Priesmeyer said voters told her that translators were telling them to vote for Coleman. . . . "

5. The weasel is saying that Franken should just accept that he (Norm) won
and save the taxpayers' money by telling the state not to do the recount. It is not known whether or not Franken could even do this because the recount is mandated by state law because of how small the difference in the their vote total is.

7. Ya know, if Norm is that concerned...
he could just concede and save us poor taxpayers all that money he's so concerned about.

I mean, wouldn't that be the right thing to do?

Norm, I call on you to stand tall and concede! I know you're worried about my finances and well being, and I can honestly say that your selfless act will be appreciated. Thank you.
