Republicans ask Supreme Court to halt recount

[Harlan Huckleby]

I laughed when I heard on the radio that attorneys for Norm Coleman had asked the Minnesota Supreme Court to intervene in the recount. They wanted the current count to be halted (since it is not going their way), and have it redone again from the beginning.

In another thread, Bobblehead was arguing what good-sports the Republicans are by nature. Not like the legalistic, sore-losers from the Democrat (sic) party.

:P

here is a newer article, the report I heard was from two days ago, altho i couldn't be bothered to read it myself

I also read this morning that the recount is finished with Franken up by 255 votes, but the Republicans want them to refuse to certify the results and not seat anyone until ALL legal cases are complete.

Just keep counting till the democrat wins. Trunks of cars, under pews....keep 'em comin'!

Why is a state controlled by a Rebublican governor going to these lengths to commit this fraud? There always did seem to be something a little unsavory about that Pawlenty guy.

They already did that. Now the Republican for some reason wants to count some more...Go figure.

I can't believe it. No way would the Republicans go to the Supreme Court to stop a recount.

This has been a blatant attempt by the Dems to steal the election, and it is showing signs of being successful. The Minnesota State Legislature and the U.S. Congress are likely to be complicit in this. The only hope for justice is apparently the U.S. Supreme Court.

Heee heee heee. How do you reckon the Minnesota Legislature pulled off this swindle? The recounting is supervised by the MN Secretary of State, it's a Republican administration in MN.

This is too funny. Well, maybe it will eventually get to YOUR Supreme Court, and they will again set things right.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Does this look like a man who would steal an election? I think not.

Mark Ritchie is a lunatic DFLer. He is not a Republican. I live up here and don't follow the story....it's a joke; statistically impossible. But I guess that's typical when it comes to the Left......throw away science.

Republican governor and Coleman. Everything else is pretty much liberal up here. Coleman winning a recount (after two electronic counts gave him the lead) was a longshot. About as unlikely as if the recount had taken place in Illinois.

OK, I just assumed the Gov appointed those positions.

Its really hard for me to believe that the people doing the counting across the state are cheating.
Are the number swings really statisitically unlikely? If the swings are hundreds in millions, perhaps not.

The result will be scrutinized, the press will have a look at the ballots, and academics are gonna crunch the numbers very carefully looking for suspicious trends. Lots of whistle blowers will be looking to make a name for themselves.

Governors sign bills, they dont decide elections.

I will pee on Al Franken's leg.
