Republicans fight vote fraud in MN's Coleman race

Erick Erickson at RedState is keeping an eye on the Norm Coleman-Al Franken vote count in Minnesota ... and he sees some oddities. He writes:
I spent six years as an elections lawyer. I handled a lot of very wacked election canvasses and recounts. One thing they all had in common: when new votes were found, they generally went both ways -- a few for one candidate and a few for the other candidate. It didn't quite follow the polling, but then close races only happen at the 50-50 margin.

Here's something that never happened: the votes did not all go 100% for one candidate except in the two instances where there was only one misplaced ballot discovered.

In Minnesota, though, the votes are all going for Al Franken — pretty much all 600 of them. That defies statistical probability.
"That defies statistical probability" ... is anyone listening? Erick goes on to explain further irregularities as the Franken campaign looks for "missed" votes down-ticket. Hopefully, Republican lawyers will be able to prevent Al Franken from stealing this election from Republican Senator Norm Coleman.

I'm amazed that this many people voted for such a Hack as Franken whose only real accomplishment was to right a book in the mid 90's "Rush Limbaugh is Big Fat Idiot and Other Truths" which never even got ranked by the Times best seller list. I sincerly doubt that all these "found ballots" are legit.

Becomming Senator should improve Franken's comedy routine.
