Comments on: Coleman’s ‘count every vote’ video borrows from Franken, UpTake http://minnesotaindependent.com/24415/coleman-video-borrows-from-franken-uptak News. Politics. Media.

They were reviewed twice, once when they came in, and again after Franken su8ccessfully made his case that some were rejected in error and should be reviewed a second time --- and this is a big pint --- over Coleman's objections. My take is Coleman isn't really hoping for another review or thinking that are many more ballots or that those ballots help him. He's looking for a basis to take the case to federal court where he might hope for a partisan verdict from the conservatives on the federal bench, and hopefully a Bush v. Gore repeat. Al's strategy has to be less towards winning in state court, and more toward denying Coleman any sort of equal protection violation claim.

Al Franken fought for every single legal vote to be counted. Norm Coleman is trying to get any vote, legal or not, to be counted.
