11. Wow, that is just TOO ironic |
|
As hard as I have worked with Ritchie on election fraud education, etc.--now if we don't have a recount I will be bummed because I wanted to see if the machine counts would match the hand recounts! And Mt. Iron is where one of my best friends lives! So if this cancels the recount, it is just too ironic for me!
I think that Coleman will now have to eat his words and not demand a recount but that will just make me wonder what we might have found out! I have had a suspicion that he thought the votes that remained to be tallied would put Al over the top and that is why he wanted him to not only concede right away but also because he fears if the recount goes forward it will show signs of tampering!

14. You did hear that in Buhl which is Mt. Iron's neighbor |
|
The election board didn't call in their ballots on election night.

6. He told us he would concede, I can't wait until someone asks him about it. |
|
I know he won't concede, but he will at least show his arrogance to the public.

9. Anyone have an update? |
|
I've been looking for confirmation of this but can't find anything. Every site I've been to still has Coleman up by about 220. I'd love to confirm that Al has indeed taken the lead!

13. What the HECK is going on? |
|
First in Pine County they supposedly had a "typo" that left off 100 votes for Franken--they sent in 24 instead of 124.
Now we hear that Mt. Iron ALSO dropped off one hundred votes?
Anyone else find that fishy?

15. No, not fishy at all. |
|
This kind of stuff happens in EVERY election - but usually it's so minuscule compared to the margin of victory, you never hear about it.

17. In each case, a single digit was miskeyed. |
|
I'm just not seeing the conspiracy here, sorry.

21. Becky Lourey is from Pine County - |

I think it's a pretty DFL area. I wouldn't think the keying error was anything but an error.
