(bloomberg) The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled against Republican incumbent Norm Coleman in his U.S. Senate recount battle with Democrat Al Franken, refusing to order election officials to throw out more than 100 ballots Coleman’s campaign says may have been double-counted.

Looks like it’s gonna be 59.

Coleman adjusting to ’59′:

“I feel fairly confident. In the end, the good Lord’s going to decide,” Coleman told the local Fox affiliate. “The numbers look good to us. Certainly there’s uncertainty. I’m not worried about it. I’ve done everything I can do. I’m not really agonizing about the outcome.”

…”Life goes on, regardless of what your job is. I certainly love what I do. If I can keep doing it, I’ll be thrilled, and if not, I’m sure we’ll do something else.”

Would that be the same kind of hacking that happened on voter machines in Ohio 2004???

Rap, do you even KNOW how ironic that statement is, or how it degrades the 8yrs of whining from Dems about stealing elections? This is like if someone spelled ‘moron’ w two R’s (sometimes appropriate, other times…not-so-much)

Craig stated:
“Obama’s thugs hacked the voting machines, I am sure of that. And this was done with no fingerprints and no witness. You are very naïve and do not realize how your Obama is corrupted. I am even sure that Obama did not win this election. It was all fraud since the beginning.”

Show some real proof! I am certain you have none.

Well, well, well! Due to the miraculous timing of the financial crisis, Congress should take a cut in their pay check this coming year. After all, they get paid with the taxpayer’s money, so they should lower their salaries during this awful “recession” that they have created.

The article you cited is hardly neutral and objective. Even giving the article the benefit of the doubt, it seems obvious that this was a fairly crude and fairly short-lived effort by a handful of the legion of lawyers on the ground and there is no indication that Gore himself had anything to do with it.

Not that I think it’s the ultimate source for information about the Florida recount, but the HBO show “Recount” made it pretty clear that Gore was not infrequently over-ruling initial decisions which were made on his behalf by his team of lawyers. Lawyers will be lawyers. Their first instinct is to do what can be done to win using any tactics which are legal. Politics, a wise and knowing FA blogger wrote, is war. I seriously doubt that GOP lawyers are any different than DEM lawyers, in this regard. It strains credulity to believe that Gore himself would be so politically tone-deaf as to try and disqualify the votes of servicemen overseas on a technicality.

Oh and Larry, Katherine Harris seemed to be aware that allowing the dems to get all the recounts they wanted would create what we see in MN and the examples Ann wrote about. They have no problem gaming the system or even cheating to win.

Larry, Gore called in the lawyers first and initially attempted to keep the military ballots from being counted. When it became clear it would be hugely bad publicity for him, he backed down.
