Final Day of Minnesota's Recount? Live Video of Canvassing Board at 9:30 CST

Hundreds, perhaps more than a thousand absentee ballots have been improperly rejected by local election officials across the state of Minnesota. The State Canvassing Board has asked Minnesota's counties and cities to sort out those ballots. Not all are doing so. On Friday the Board may take action on those ballots which could determine the outcome of Minnesota's very close US Senate race between Al Franken and Norm Coleman.

Please count all lawful ballots. That's what the majority of Americans--including Minnesotans--want by far.

Once again the GOP is caught with its hands in the cash register.
When will the American people wise up and realize that the GOP gives not a whit about the USA, but only about the GOP and their individual power and money base.
Nixon should have gone to jail. So should Reagan and Bush !. As for Bush II and Cheney, these guys deserve the worst punishment possible.

I think that any election officials that refuse to count legal ballots should be arrested and tried for violating voter civil rights. Move Patrick Fitzgerald temporarily to Minneapolis. It is past high time that election shanigans cease throughout this country. Making an example of a few voter fraud hoodlums would go a long way toward this end.

Coleman's whole plan from the beginning has been an effort to prevent valid ballots from being counted. What is it that Norm Coleman has against democracy and voters? Every person in America who chooses to vote should be able to and their votes should count. According to Coleman the fewer people who get to vote and be counted, the better.
