Minnesota's US Senate Election - What a Long Strange Trip It's Been

It's the longest election in Minnesota's history, and it's still not over. But a ruling from Minnesota's election contest court may have signaled the beginning of the end of Minnesota's US Senate race. Former Senator Norm Coleman's chances of winning the election were severely dimmed when the court ruled that only 400 additional ballots will be counted. Democrat Al Franken leads Coleman by 225 votes.

The election contest has been a soap opera, drawing thousands of viewers from all over the country every day. In the above video, The UpTake's Mike McIntee takes us through the major plot lines and moments of the trial, which has been educational as well as entertaining.

I will give the dedicated staff of TheUpTake.Org my vote for "Owning" the Minnesota Election Recount and Election Trial stories. Only TheUpTake devoted so much time to covering the events. The transparency of the Recount and Contest is complete because TheUptake made it so. I congratulate the UpTake and ask those who have relied upon them as a source to visit TheUpTake(s) Site and make a generous contribution.

This is a highly comprehensive report from TheUpTake's Mike Mcintee. Mcintee hit all the important facts.
The testimony of the woman used in his report speaks for itself about how this Contest is such a Bad Faith perpetuation of a fraud on Coleman's behalf.

I hope Mcintee and the Staff at TheUpTake are able to be on hand for thise stories ultimate conclusion, sometime soon. I hope readers of my comments unfamiliar with the great work of TheUpTake will visit their site and make a small contribution to the well deserviing news staff. I hope that those familiar with TheUpTake will echo my appeal for contributions to fund their work and bear the expense of a trip to Washington to be photographed with Senator Franken at his desk in the Senate.
