On Burris & Blago, on Franken & Coleman

Note to Senate: Let Mr. Burris in! He’s been legally appointed. There is no evidence of wrong-doing on his part. And Blago has not been indicted. It’s also clear that the requirement for the Secretary of State to sign applies only to verifying an election.

On the Minnesota Election: It’s not over yet. Lots of irregularities. According to several websites and newspapers, there are 25 districts in Minnesota where there are more ballots than people who signed the roles. In others, there are ballots that have been counted twice. There are also counts provided with no ballots to back them up. There are ballots that magically showed up a week later. Ballots have been counted inconsistently: there are multiple ballots with an “X” in a filled-in circle that counted as votes for Franken, yet when the same markings appeared for Coleman, they are counted as “no votes.” Clearly, obviously, ethically, morally, and legally inconsistent! There is enough of this to turn the election around by several hundred votes. Ron Coleman’s website says he’s filing a lawsuit. Where is the national media on this? They are not reporting it.
