Al Franken’s campaign dismissed as mere theory U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman’s contention that duplicate ballots resulted in more than 100 votes being counted twice in Minnesota’s Senate recount. The Minnesota Supreme Court took a pass on the charges, despite the Coleman camp’s claim that including the contested ballots in a statewide tally would dilute the value of the other 2.9 million votes that were only counted once.

So what are we to think when a Minnesota voter comes forward to report that her household received five duplicate holiday cards from Franken? Does that dilute the cheer-value of greetings that others on Franken’s mailing lists received? The way the recount’s been going, you can expect mail fraud charges in the offing.

democrats and republicans alike are all douche bags, in this case however, franken does appear to be less of a douchebag than coleman, franken stands for whats right and truth, not business ties, barack obama took a shit this morning and all i can smell is a new world odour

Of all the report on this story (and I’ve read most of them), this may actually be the stupidest. Is the author trying to be funny? Count that as a failure. Does the author really think their is some sort of point to this? Their isn’t. Five cards to one house – so what? Whatever meaning the author is supposed to be drawing from this, doesn’t exist. This is no more relevant than had they received 5 Radio Shack catalogs in the mail.

Please try to find some real news, eh?
