| Markings on ballot copies upset Minn. Senate case |
| 2009-01-27 |
| ST. PAUL (AP) — The mishandling of some court exhibits has set back Republican Norm Coleman's lawsuit challenging the Minnesota Senate recount. Coleman's attorneys planned to begin introducing copies of thousands of rejected absentee ballots Tuesday, examining them individually over about six days. They want a three-judge panel to add the rejected absentees to the recount, and say the ballots could be key to Coleman overtaking Democrat Al Franken. But Coleman's representatives had written notes on some of the copies, and Franken's attorneys objected. The judges agreed. They said the Coleman team must subpoena the original envelopes. That process could be lengthy. Judge Denise Reilly warned them to "have some backup witnesses" ready Tuesday. |

| #2 Let's see. State judges in California, Missouri, New Jersey, etc throw out their own laws and their own written Constitutions so that Donks or their special interest groups get what they want on elections regardless. And you're surprised by events in Minnesota? They want enough appearance of democracy to keep the usual smucks appeased so that they can keep the game going. It's not that they expect the smucks to rise up when they defraud the process, but rather that someone will rise and the smucks will sit it out that forces them to even play this game. |
