Power Line Blog<\/a> has the update on the mysterious growth of Al Franken’s vote totals in Minnesota.  Unfortunately, the fox is guarding the hen house on this one.  The person in charge of the recount has strong connections with ACORN.  There are a number of questionable incidents.  This is my favorite so far:<\/p>\n

“UPDATE: Hot off the press, the first apparent evidence of fraud. Last night at around 7:30, a precinct in Mountain Iron, St. Louis County, mysteriously updated its vote total to add 100 new votes–all 100 for Barack Obama and Al Franken.<\/p>\n

Mountain Iron uses optical scanning, so the Coleman campaign asked for a copy of the tape documenting the ballots cast on election night. St. Louis County responded by providing a tape that includes the newly-added 100 votes, and is dated November 2<\/strong>–the Sunday before the election. St. Louis County reportedly denies being able to produce the genuine tape from election night, even though Minnesota law, as I understand it, requires that tape to be signed by the election judges and publicly displayed<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Pay attention.  The way this turns out determines more than who will sit in the Senate.  It gives us a clue as to whether we can expect anything resemblying an honest election in the future.  We need to pressure the legislators that we have for laws to protect us from voter fraud.  I think voter ID’s would help, but I’m not sure that would have made a difference in this situation.<\/p>\n

Just a note–two of the writers of Power Line Blog live in Minnesota, so I suspect they will have continued updates on the situtation.  Since their votes will be the ones nullified by any fraud committed, I also suspect they may have an opinion or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
