#1 They just need to clean up that little issue of having more ballots than voters.

#2 Why? It wasn't a problem with the Washington State Governors race of 04.

#3 Franken IS certifiable. :)

I suppose somebody has to replace Teddy as chief buffoon in the Senate.

#4 They kept counting until Franken won.

Someone needs to go to jail over this one.

#5 Why's that BJ?
Wasn't counting the trick that gave us Bush in '04?

#8 Skidmark, don't you mean 2000?

#9 It seems Skidmark misread the propaganda he was supposed to post. 2004 was beyond the level of error. The only rcount was in Washington State where the Democrats kept counting until they got the result they wished.

In 2000, the same was attempted in Florida, but the Supreme Court of the USA stopped that cheating attempt to recount until the desired results were obtained by the Democrat criminals. Later independent audits showed that Bush did win that election legitimately. It is only the mentally ill who continue this fight 8 years later.

#10 And thanks to the Free Market system they continue to self-regulate themselves by annually replacing faded Gore and Kerry bumper stickers so that the DMV does not, as with driver's ed vehicles, have to put a cone on top of their vehicle to warn of additional driving hazards.

#11 Interesting historical note. Gore never believed for a second that he had won in Florida in 2000. The lawsuits and endless recounts were intended to prevent the Florida vote from being certified. If it hadn't been certified by the time the electoral college met to vote, Gore would have won the electoral vote, and thus the presidency.

#12 Minnesota certified as election loser.

#13 Franken getting more than a dozen votes would have been a disappointment. Like Obama, evidently Minnesotans think pretty highly of him. Be careful what you'ze ask for.
