There are two articles on the internet this morning dealing with the Minnesota Senate race.  The first at KSTP-TV Minneapolis<\/a> has Norm Coleman stating that when the legal challenges are over, he will be declared the winner.  The issues involved are the double counting of a number of votes (almost thirty precincts have more votes than registered voters) and the absentee ballots that were disqualified (many were later counted, but not with standard rules).  Coleman was ahead initially by about two hundred votes.  A swing of four hundred votes in a recount would be very unusual.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to Yahoo News<\/a> the Senate is moving toward seating Al Franken.  According to the article–<\/p>\n

“We’re going to try to seat Al Franken<\/span>,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid<\/span>, D-Nev., told reporters on Wednesday, a few hours before he posed with Franken for photos just off the Senate floor. “There’s not a question in anyone’s mind, an assertion by anyone, that there’s been any fraud or wrongdoing in this election.”<\/p>\n

Also according to the article at Yahoo–<\/p>\n

“If Al Franken truly believes he won this election, he should respect the laws of his state and allow this legal review to be completed,” said Sen. John Cornyn<\/span>, R-Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Until the State of Minnesota declares a winner, I don’t understand how the Senate can seat anyone.  This may be another case of Harry Reid inserting himself into a losing sitation.  For the sake of future elections in this country and for the sake of the people of Minnesota, I do hope the eventual outcome of this is fair and honest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
