Based on the showing he had in the special election, he must have had some Republicans vote for him to get to the 54%. One does wonder, if that were true, what does that tell you about the Democrat support he was trying to get.

This is the issue Carl? The Dems can only win by cheating? I guess that’s what the whole voter id paranoia is about – nonsense! Why can’t you believe that we all want what is best for our country and state – we just have different ideas of achieving this end? It is poor for our democracy to continue to demonize the other side.

Can you explain why there were more votes cast in some MN districts then there were eligible voters? In districts that Franken won. Not to mention ballots being found in the trunk of a car after the recount became close. Then there is the case of someone burning ballots in their home fireplace…

Frankin won despite the fact a precent worker took ballots home in the trunk of her car. Of course the cry from Rep, was those were votes that will help Coleman when in fact they helped Franken. There was nothing illegal, or did the Republicans have anything legal to stand on which is why they conceded the election. Senator Franken has done a great job and continues to work for the people.

So it is ok that someone took home ballots in the trunk of their car. The heck with the law, we are Democrats and we can do what we want right jimmy?
So, why are you passing on commenting on the fact that there were votes then registered voters in some districts? That not a problem either? Or just when it favors a Democrat?
Democrats wouldn’t have a prayer in a fair and legal election…
