Franken’s campaign protests 133 mystery ballots from Minneapolis
An uproar Wednesday over 133 mystery ballots that may or may not have disappeared in Minneapolis became the newest controversy to roil the U.S. Senate recount.
At issue was a discrepancy between Election Day and recount totals in one of the city’s precincts.
DFLer Al Franken’s campaign lodged a protest over 133 votes that it said could not be accounted for during the recount, at a possible cost to him of as many as 46 net votes in his race against Republican Sen. Norm Coleman.
Franken officials sent a letter to the secretary of state’s office and Minneapolis elections director Cindy Reichert demanding that the votes from the northeast Minneapolis precinct not be officially reported until a search is conducted for the ballots.
Late Wednesday, Reichert said she had decided to keep the results in the precinct open until all of the discrepancies could be resolved, by reviewing all of the precinct’s election materials at City Hall today.
“Several mistakes were made in the precinct and we need to verify all of the numbers we looked at [Wednesday],” she said.
The twist came a day after Franken made a net gain of 37 votes in Ramsey County, when the recount there found that 171 votes from a Maplewood precinct hadn’t been tallied on Election Day.
I am getting positively giddy following this clusterfuck going on up in the Land of 10,000 Lakes Maniacs.
Part of me wants to see Franken smacked down like a rabid cur. Another part wants to see that psycho sworn in as a Senator of the United States of America, representing the great state of Mindless Dumbasses Who Elected Jesse Ventura.
That lunatic will be an endless font o’ fun if he’s let loose on Capitol Hill.
I mean, c’mon! Does anyone think a wimp like Harry Reid will be able to rein that whack in when a mic or camera are in front of him?

Franken's a douche.
What is it about him that inspires such mindless loyalty on the part of his followers?
One time, I was in a chain bookstore where Katherine Lanpher, his onetime sidekick, was doing a book signing, and it was clear that there was absolutely no love for him there, not even from talking to her handlers, the few buyers, etc.
That's not rare in that little parallel pseudointellectual universe, but the total inability they shared to restrain themselves and keep it an in-house debate amongst themselves surprised me.
(FWIW, she didn't seem too bad…..more peacy-lovey, not caught up in her own decadence and hatred, like her former boss…..SHE seemed a lot more “Minnesota-ish” then his crowd….)
Franken, to me, shares all the worst attributes of Sammy Greenfield, another contemptuous faggot I've crossed paths with online….he's been exiled to our local station in Teaneck. I cut off his balls and fed them to him, over Palin.
