Coleman Lawsuit: It's On Like Donkey Kong

Citing the gross inconsistencies in how Coleman and Franken ballots were treated, with Franken always getting the double-benefit of the double-standard, Coleman's suing.

I had worried he'd give in like a good little Republican. So far he's not going out like a punk.

Coleman, whose term expired Saturday, led Franken by 215 votes in the Nov. 4 count but that advantage flipped during a prolonged recount. Coleman's lawyers say recount inconsistencies and election irregularities should be reviewed by a special three-judge panel.

In going to court, Coleman has three big challenges: raising money to pay escalating legal bills, proving the election was flawed and managing the public's desire to have the race over.

And while Coleman is filing the lawsuit, Franken will also have a chance to try to scrounge up additional votes. Both sides will have options they didn't have during the recount, such as accessing voter rolls, inspecting machines and introducing testimony from election workers.

Coleman's filing includes some of the points his lawyers have been making for weeks. It centers mainly around claims that hundreds of rejected absentee ballots from Republican-leaning areas should have been part of the recount, that some ballots in Democratic territory were counted twice and that election officials were wrong to use machine tallies for a Minneapolis precinct where ballots went missing.

But there are new angles, too.

The lawsuit alleges that the Canvassing Board made mistakes when determining voter intent on challenged ballots, that ineligible voters cast ballots and that some absentee ballots were erroneously opened early, raising chain-of-custody concerns.

The lawsuit doesn't spell out how many votes Coleman hopes to gain.

A race that was a couple of years in the making—Franken announced his campaign in February 2007—is now two months past Election Day.

Um, how is money even an issue? Where the fuck is the RNC and the RNSC?

Hello, there's one race and one race only at the moment. Don't lose it because of money you idiots.

Of course, even if Coleman wins in court (not likely based on history) Reid won't seat him. At best the Senate will order a new election like they did in NH in 1974.

11 Sadly, two of the most reliably non-partisan State Supreme Court Justices have to recuse themselves, since they were on the canvassing board.

Nice to see Norm fighting, and I'm glad he's tossing a few other essential concerns into the mix ("ineligible voters cast ballots" -- no shit, when all you need for I.D. is a utility bill....), but a good outcome is unlikely at best.

22 drjohn,

Reread that. One precinct (Maplewood): 177 ballots: total including the 177 > total # of registered voters (in that one case).

Where else? Milwaukee: 00, 04 and 08. Detroit: 00, 04, 08. Gary, Indiana: 08. Probably several other urban areas.

Not sure if Brother Reid could do this, using the Adam Clayton Powell case.

Even if the Senate can get a special election ordered, chances may not be good for Stuart Smalley.  Barry is no longer on the ballot to provide coattails.  Then again, I presumed that the RNC or the RSNC would provide money to ensure monitor what goes on at the polls; how silly of me.

28 Notropis:  Thanks for the link.  I don't question Dr. Gupta's qualifications as a brave doctor who helps folks in need.  But does that experience really qualify him to be Surgeon General?  I don't think so, but I'll keep thinking about it and see if I ultimately change my mind.

Read this list, and tell me, beyond Koop and Elders, whom anyone remembers, and what they actually did that really made a rat's patootie's worth of difference.

Then read this story, and tell me why Gupta's such a bad choice (besides the fact that Obama picked him, and he's with CNN.)

I also don't know, for sure, but I don't think Surgeon General is anywhere near as important as HHS Secretary, and Obama already failed that one, big time.

This would be the Norm Coleman who voted yes on amnesty, yes on the bailout, and is trying to make having money in an overseas account illegal and immediately spark an investigation by the FBI in a bill co-sponsored with Obama? (That's to keep business and people with even a little bit of money from hiding it from a capital levy. As in, when the government simply takes everything in your bank account "for one time only, just to cover the bills.")

He's a tool, and I can't imagine why I should care for him to win. He's even less funny than Al Franken and only moderately less liberal.

" At best the Senate will order a new election like they did in NH in 1974."

Perfect.  Franken only came close because of Obama-related turnout.  No way he can duplicate that.

Posted by: Sobek at January 06, 2009 06:20 PM (UefZl)

44 "Franken only came close because of Obama-related turnout."

And a 3-way race. (Coleman and Franken each only pulled about 42.5% of the vote.) If they were to order a new election (seriously unlikely, but we can wish), it would probably be just between the top 2, and Franken wouldn't stand a chance.

(Or so I'd like to think. If Franken won under those circumstances, I guess I'd have to admit that Minnesota really is a state chock-full of douchenozzles, and relocate 30 miles west, into South Dakota.)

Coleman needs to fight.

Even if he loses, he shines a light on how someone can win by over 700+ votes and then after a recount lose by over 200.

I really would like to have officials in Minnesota try to explain just exactly how that happens. How so many breaks can just happen to favor one side.

Even with the "in the tank" media, I think some curious facts might see the light of day.

Watch Obama on camera "playing house" - especially how one moment, he parrots fiscal responsibility like the grownups would say and advocates getting budgets under control, and hours later, he parrots what he thinks FDR would say by advocating spending trillions and trillions.

What will be truly priceless is about a year from now, when Zero's poll numbers have fallen below the 52% mark, when the dopes who voted for him, but weren't vocal supporters, find they need to scapegoat someone for the inevitable failure of his administration.  Yesterday's racism will look tame by comparison.

87 J_Gocht, I suggest you limit your observation to things you actually observe.  All katya indicated is that she enjoys Rush's impersonations.  There's nothing even mildly racist about that.  Elders was, to be generous, a fool of the first order and isn't due any leeway based on her parentage.

By the way, it seems your posts are still there, so you can probably stop worrying about ace being out to get you.  Or maybe he's busy with icus.  I'll check back later.

But to uncover what really happened in those car trunks and back rooms, wouldn't it take an "Untouchables" moment, catching the bookkeeper with the jury logs or something? Obligatory day-in-court show trials can be mighty dissatisfying when the evidence has been spirited away and the witnesses all dealt with. Another hanging-chad spectacle, and the usual suspects.

Coleman needs more than just money. Those party 'operatives' aren't going to get all weepy and confess on the stand just because they're under oath. They've got jobs and families to look out for. And these guys play for keeps, Elliot.

99 The fix is in: Franken will be Senator. My opinion of Congress can't get any lower, so why not? That 4-eyed duck-billed douchenozzle will be right at home.

Coleman has no shot. He basically needs to win all of the disputed vote arguments to pull ahead and that aint happenin'

At least hes fighting though.

Posted by: TMF at January 07, 2009 08:45 AM (waaUg)

101 The best outcome here is for Al to be seated as the 60th Dem after Coleman fights to his last breath. Look, Franken is, like Hamas, a valid representative of his constituents. It seems the temptations of socialism are such that her lethality must be relearned by every other generation. Better it is done fully with geniuses like Franken being the face of the Dems and with NO and I mean NO Republican being in fingerprint reach. Besides, like the airlines and GM, these downturns should be used to trim the deadwood. I'm thinking that. like the oak, the Rep party is mostly dead. Like 90%.
