Senator Norm Coleman; Part Deux

Ron Carey over at townhall has an interesting column today regarding the senate election that former comedian (the guy stopped being funny somewhere around 1985) Al Franken is trying to steal. I wrote about this the other day here. Some of the shenanigans have been eye-popping for a state that is said to have the cleanest elections in the nation (not saying much I guess). In any case, Ron writes:

"...in recent days, Franken and his Washington legal team have seemed awfully desperate for a campaign that is trying to convince people they are winning. They have now tried to shove Al Franken onto the Senate floor through three separate venues – only be to be rebuffed and delayed because their effort clearly violates Minnesota law.

...Al Franken’s lead will disappear and Norm Coleman will be declared the winner when the following errors are corrected."

Amongst the list will be familiar items that showed up in my earlier post: double-counted ballots, counted missing ballots, wrongly rejected absentee ballots, newly 'discovered' ballots, etc. Sounds just like the situation in Washington State a few years ago.
