Systemic Corruption

“ When voters woke up on Wednesday morning after the election, Senator Norm Coleman led Al Franken by what seemed like a relatively comfortable 725 votes. By Wednesday night, that lead had shrunk to 477. By Thursday night, it was down to 336. By Friday, it was 239. Late Sunday night, the difference had gone down to just 221 -- a total change over 4 days of 504 votes.

Amazingly, this all has occurred even though there hasn’t even yet been a recount. Just local election officials correcting claimed typos in how the numbers were reported. Counties will certify their results today, and their final results will be sent to the secretary of state by Friday. The actual recount won’t even start until November 19.

It's more than a statistical anomaly that every postelection correction has been in Franken's favor.

Damn skippy that we can count on Dean Logan to Minnisota to fix everthing. He has experience at fixing elections.

This thing in Minnesota between Coleman and Franken sounds a whole lot like the three recounts in the Washington State governor' election in 2004. Rossi won with a narrow margin on the original count. He won again by a narrower margin on the first and second recounts, But Gregoire won the last by 133 votes, most of them from dead voters in King County. And the State's election commission did nothing about it.

That could well happen in Minnesota. Franken is just about the sleaziest politician since John Murtha. And Franken wasn't the least bit funny when he was trying to be comedian years ago.
