Franken Declared Winner, Coleman Promises To Go To Court

A Minnesota court ruled Monday night that Democrat Al Franken has defeated Republican Norm Coleman and should be granted the election certificate that will allow him to take his seat in the U.S. Senate.
The Coleman camp immediately vowed to appeal.
"More than 4,400 Minnesotans remain wrongly disenfranchised by this court's order," Coleman attorney Ben Ginsberg said in a statement. "By its own terms, the court has included votes it has found to be 'illegal' in the contest to remain included in the final counts from Election Day, and equal protection and due process concerns have been ignored. For these reasons, we must appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court so that no voter is left behind."
The three-judge panel rejected Coleman's equal-protection arguments, saying that "errors or irregularities identified by contestants in the general election do not violate the mandates of equal protection."

We'll see if he goes through with the court challenge or not. At some point (fairly or not) at some point it starts to look like sour grapes to average people. Plus, it's expensive to keep these going.

Meanwhile, in upstate NY it's still basically tied in the race for the 20th CD. There are still votes left to be counted and challenges to be determined. Get ready for Minnesota on the Hudson, hopefully with a better outcome.

14 The problem, as I understand it, is that there are very strict requirements for absentee ballots in MN. In DFL counties, they ignored the requirements as a matter of course. In GOP counties, they did not.

So a lot of Franken-friendly votes got counted when they didn't, for example, have the signature of the witness.

Coleman wanted an all-or-nothing standard so, since the votes couldn't be uncounted, that all of the votes around the state be counted according to the loose standard. It appears this three-judge panel disagrees. I'm taking a stab that some court will disagree, but the Frankensteins got what they wanted -- Franken declared the "winner".

You know who this benefits? Me, that's who.

Ding ding ding: this is invoking the federal due process grounds relied on by the plurality in Bush v.

But then, remember that this is the same state that elected that buffoon Jesse Ventura as governor. This is a state that cannot be satisfied with the mere label of "Democrat"; no, we have to lard on the treacle and use "Democrat-Farmer-Labor", just to twist the knife and break it off.

Yep, but the ACORN-sponsored SoS in Minnesota says he "welcomes" an appeal to the SCOMN, so he must feel that the fix is in. Unless I (I was Hugh above) have the situation wrong, it's a slam dunk in favor of Coleman.

Doesn't necessarily imply Franken will lose if they are counted, but it doesn't matter, they have to do this the right way. Franken already got double-counted ballots as well as a few trunk-of-the-car ballots.

55 One thing that cements the notion that we really are a 50/50 nation is all the too-close-to-call congressional races. And I mean, ending in a statistical tie. Even in the bluest-of-blue states like New York and Minnesota. The rural areas, the suburbs and small towns: reliably conservative. Big cities, college towns: reliably democrat. Michael Barone, probably the sharpest sociopolitical observer out there, has called this "the great sorting-out". Or maybe we could call it "political cleansing" rather than "ethnic cleansing". People are voluntarily separating themselves by ideology.

I don't think any of this happened deliberately. It's simply an outgrowth of the human tendency to group with others of like mind. But even this conservative/liberal split might be too facile. The right has the country-club types, the "centrists" who would be Democrats in any other age, the paleocons, the religious, the survivalists, and the libertarians who tend to disagree with everyone (including each other). The left has the eco-nuts, the peaceniks, organized labor, statists, collectivists, socialists, communists, blacks, and a grab-bag of single-issue interests: gays, PETA, what have you.

It bothers me because the old American model of the "melting pot" seems to be completely broken (and maybe it was never true to begin with). It's all interest-groups and minority agendas now. (And I mean "minority" in the narrow political sense, not in the ethnic sense.) E Pluribus Unum has never rung so hollow as it does now.

A house divided against itself cannot stand. So said Abraham Lincoln, and he led us into the bloodiest war in our history to keep the Union whole. But we, fractious rebellious children that we are, have gone astray yet again.

61 This is interesting.

A few years ago one of the big political arguments was whether the government should be able to restrict the amount of money individuals could spend to make their political opinions heard.

The left largely won the argument - and then turned around and abused the system they created to fund their causes and candidates.

Now we see they've gone a step further. Apparently, not only is spending unlimited amounts of money for political speech ok - but spending unlimited amounts of money to buy state politicians so that they can hand your federal politicians elections is ok also.

I'll give the left credit though...they sure don't worry about little things like honesty, intellectual consistency, or honor get in the way of accumulating power.

66 Coleman lost this election the second he decided just to let everything work itself out and maintain a civil composure while ballots were appearing out of car trunks and being counted. When he finally decided to raise a stink about it, it stopped, but most of the damage was already done.

He should have cried holy hell from the beginning.

Lesson of the day (for 126,789th time):

You do not get anywhere by using the Marquess of Queensberry rules in playing politics when the other side won't follow these rules.

The other side is not going to follow these rules until the press calls them on it.

The press won't call them on it.

Hence, you won't get anywhere.

At best you'll be seen as a gracious loser, but, more likely, just a loser.

The other side sees you as their enemy, no matter how much you wish to ingratiate yourself with them and gain their approval. You will not get anywhere until you recognize that.

You don't. Our own Civil War was a fabulously nasty and fraught squabble. Bleeding Kansas, the bloody militia raids in Missouri and Tennessee, the regulators and bandits running around southern Illinois and Kentucky -- it was very nasty. There was a lot more to that war than just the blue and grey armies, folks. A lot more. And even after the South was defeated, there was nearly eighty years of hard feelings, anger, and emotional distance: from Reconstruction through the end of the Civil Rights era, the South never really bonded to the North.

I don't know what shape a political separation would take, to be honest. I'd like to think it would happen slowly, over the course of decades, but doing things slowly and quietly is not our way.

84 76 "I also predict a fist fight between Franken and James Webb. Both have terrible tempers."

Yeah, but Webb can actually back up his temper. I'd pay money to watch that shit.

I don't know - Franken was a wrestler and still seems to have takedown skills. I'll give Webb the edge in punches, but if the fight goes to the ground (and they almost always do) I'd bet on Franken. Of course Webb (or an aide) is far more likely to be packing heat so Franken may get the decision posthumously.

@78: Kentucky voted down Sonny Landham for Governor. He did some porn stuff. I think he ran for Senate, too.

Too bad he didn't win - that would have been 3 governors out of Predator.

Al Franken varsity midget wrestlers.

90 Norm's anti-drilling in ANWR killed him with me; don't think I'm the only one. Oh well, we survived Mark Dayton.

91 At some point?

No, never give in, never.

Coleman should fight and make this a huge National Discourse.

Take to the talk shows, radio, the Supreme Court...

Too much letting the crooks steal this thing we call Democracy.

His political career is probably not going anywhere after this anyhow.

Coleman should not let a bunch of liberal Democratic Partisans on a local Court finalize the big theft.

92 I am sorry I think I can clearly see some Obama-bot astroturfing when it came to posts mentioning the Tea party protests. That and they seemed rather random along with the guy who posted that he was whistling the confederate national anthem. Wtf? They will use any excuse to shut us up, even if they have to create it themselves, we know the far left isn't above that.

93 Is there anyone here who'd like to share a double-dong dildo with me? It's so much more fun when you have a partner.

Cheating Commiecrats like Brain come to gloat, then go fellate their political overlords. Open your mouth, Brian, and swallow the soviet semen.
