Secrets of the City

On the bright side, Mary Kiffmeyer says *more* folks should’ve had votes not counted:

“If there are wrongly rejected [ballots], then you also have to accept the fact that there are wrongly accepted [ballots],” she said. “And they never went there, they never went into wrongly accepted. They didn’t take a global look at everything.”

And how, exactly does she proppose we do that? Since, once the ballot is accepted, it is separated from the identifying envelope. THe only way to remove wrongly accepted votes would be to toss out the entire precinct that they occured in.

Incidently, there WAS a felon that wrongly voted (for Coleman, he said) in Duluth (I believe).

I hate it when my ballet gets bumped.

Wtf?!

Okay, now that “wtf” makes no sense.

Rep. Kiffmeyer needs to look up the meaning of the word “wrongly.”

Thankfully. the controversal Kiffmeyer was not serving as Secreatary of State during the recount. That would have likely made this mess even messier.

If Kiffmeyer had been in charge, we really might have seen a replay of Florida 2000.

If a candidate bumped my ballet, I’d have to take his tango, and maybe even filch his foxtrot.

More proof that Mark Richie is not a partisan tool of the Franken campaign (as if more proof was needed).

Well, the Wall Street Journal is at it again, badmouthing Minnesota and the Coleman/Franken recount. 

At least this guest ob/ed was actually written by a Minnesotan.

Justpbob to WSJ: Say, isn’t there some muck on Wall Street that needs racking?

raking, rather.

Mr. Paulson is forgetting one major issue: The majority in Bush vs. Gore explicitly ruled that it was a one of decision, and did not set precedent or become the “law of the land.”

I agree with him on the issue of giving the campaigns veto power over the inclusion of rejected absentee ballots. Everything else jsut seems to be a rehash of the already debunked right wing claims.

That should be “one-off decision.”
