Republican for Norm Coleman, says "I voted twice..."
Just guessing here, but isn't that a felony?

How many ways can voting go wrong?

Coleman supporter Jerald McElmury, of North St. Paul, wasn't surprised to be rejected. He didn't take any chances with his vote. He cast it -- twice. "I voted early," McElmury said, of his absentee ballot that was later rejected, "but drove my wife to the polls and decided I'd vote again, to make sure it was counted. I figured it would get flagged that I voted twice, so it worked exactly the way it was supposed to, for me."

Only a handful were rejected because voters subsequently voted in person on Election Day. ....

2. yes. A good old Homeland Republickan
Zieg Heil!

orders of business:

1. Obama, please change "Homeland" to "Domestic".
2. Please outlaw the use of "republican" to describe "fascist homophobic self-hating hard haired pig". the word has an honorable political provenance that has nothing to do with the party or its values.

7. Calm youselves, what he did is allowed by MN law
If one casts an absentee ballot, one is entitled to change their mind by voting at their precinct on election day. The absentee ballot is then rejected. The system worked just like it was supposed to. The Strib is trying to make much ado about nothing.

9. So it is, quite to my surprise. You can vote twice after all, in MN.
This requires a handling routine with all absentee ballot counting, to check if the voter has voted after voting! LOL.

Now I'm curious. How many states have this rule?

8. You know, part of it working "exactly the way it was supposed to"
is you now get charged with voter fraud.

Anyone think this will change his mind of the prevalence of Democratic voter fraud?
