Re: "They stole the election." How did 'they' do that? Considering that the five member electoral panel that ruled on all the ballot challenges was comprised of THREE REPUBLICANS - (two of which were appointed by the current Republican Governor) - ONE DEMOCRAT, and ONE INDEPENDENT (appointed by Jesse Ventura when he was Gov., I believe...) and ALL of the panels decisions were UNANIMOUS.

Norm Coleman gets some of the ballots that he wanted counted opened and counted by the Court: * APRIL 7, 2009, 1:25 P.M. ET Absentees Push Franken Senate Lead to 312 Associated Press online.wsj.com ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Democrat Al Franken's lead in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race has grown to 312 votes after hundreds of absentee ballots were added to the race. A three-judge panel ruled that the rejected absentees should be opened and counted after hearing weeks of testimony in a lawsuit brought by Republican Norm Coleman. Mr. Franken led by 225 votes going into Tuesday's count of the absentees. He gained more from the 351 absentees that the judges allowed than Mr. Coleman did. Other issues are still pending in Mr. Coleman's lawsuit, and he has said he will appeal to the state Supreme Court if he loses. Copyright © 2009 Associated Press
