Why So Quiet On The Franken/what's his name Senate Recount Front?

[Dinger]

The silence is deafening, why?

[Jackpine Radical]

1. You mean Franken-

coleman race?

2. They are destroying all the

Franken ballots that they can get their hands on. They want the trashy guy to win. He has style bought and paid for a constituent.

3. God i hope not!!!!

7. No, they aren't. I don't know where you got that "information,"

but the process is being handled methodically and fairly. Minnesota is famous for having some of the cleanest elections in the country. Whatever the outcome -- even if Norm the Weasel wins -- I am confident that the election and the recount will have been fair.

4. December 16th

is the day the results will be announced (law suits to follow)

5. Thanksgiving

They'll pick it up Monday, I'm sure.

6. They are just continuing to count the ballots.

It takes awhile to count almost 3 million of them. They are also sorting out the contested ones. This whole mess is bound to wind up in court, so don't expect it to end soon.

8. There's been so many challenged ballots it's pointless to track things anymore

I'm just waiting until they announce the prelim results.
