Thread: How the Dems are trying to steal the senate seat in Minneso

POLITICS: Someone finally is saying just how the Dems are trying to steal the senate seat in Minnesota
For the most part, the conservative bloggers of Powerline have played it straight on the controversy in the Minnesota senate race. But no longer.

John Hindracker today said this:

It turns out, not surprisingly, that the counties that are careful about applying election laws are Republican-leading counties, while the lax ones–Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis–are heavily Democratic. What this means, in practice, is that thousands of votes are counted in Democratic counties that would not be counted if the same voter lived in a Republican county. Coleman observed that we hadn’t realized it until now, but every Republican who runs in a state-wide race starts with a deficit of several thousand votes for this reason.

Coleman has asked the judges to open and count ballots that are in substantial compliance with Minnesota’s statute and have exactly the same status as many votes that have already been counted. The court, however, has shown an inclination to apply the election law rigorously and exclude all ballots that are not in full technical compliance with the statute. Thus a deep irony arises: if a uniform standard of strict compliance with the absentee ballot statute is applied, Coleman wins. If a looser standard of substantial compliance with the statute is uniformly applied, Coleman also wins. The only way Coleman loses is if a strict standard is applied in Republican counties and a lax standard is applied in Democratic counties. Unfortunately, that is exactly what has happened so far.

Hindracker goes on after his discussion with Norm Coleman and his legal team and says:

One more thing: Coleman didn’t make this point, but Franken’s lead is but a fraction of the number of votes that were illegally cast by illegal aliens, students from Wisconsin, and so on. If only qualified voters had been allowed to cast ballots, Coleman would have won by a margin far greater than Franken’s razor-thin 225-vote lead. If Franken ultimately becomes a United States Senator, he will owe his seat to the Democratic Party’s deliberate strategy, here in Minnesota as around the country, of facilitating voter fraud by frustrating all efforts to require voter identification.

Republicans have been rightfully concerned about Democrat voting malfeasance for some time, most notably through organizations as ACORN. If as Coleman and his legal team asserts is found to be accurate, one hopes it will go further. But then again, the new AG is Eric Holder.

I can believe it. Not saying that both sides couldn't pull some shenanigans but my bet is that the Democrats would be much more creative.
