Magic: Al Franken ‘Finds’ 12 More Ballots
Stuart Smalley Al Franken is once again claiming to have ‘found’ more ballots.
Democrat Al Franken’s campaign said another 12 uncounted ballots have been found in Minnesota’s contested Senate election, while announcing it would withdraw an additional 425 challenges to ballots issued during the race’s hand recount.
Franken’s campaign said that a dozen “UOCAVA” ballots had been found in a Minneapolis-area warehouse by election officials searching for 133 ballots gone missing during the hand recount in the urban center’s 3rd ward, 1st precinct. The ballots come from uniformed and overseas voters and were previously unopened and counted, Franken officials said.
Does anyone else find it troubling that ballots continue to be “found” in various places. As Franken’s defeat becomes ever more eminent, ballots seem to be found everywhere. Car trunks, warehouses, etc. What the hell do poll workers do with ballots in Minnesota?

The found ballots are overseas ballots, possibly military, and they might go to Coleman.
Minnesotans, including Pawlenty and Coleman, are proud of Minnesota’s reputation for honest, efficient elections. No Minnesota Republican claims that there’s been any fraud.
With 2.9 million ballots from more that 1000 polling places there are likely to be some mistakes. So far the rather few mistakes have been routinely corrected.
There are still 5,000+ votes not counted, with a margin of only 200 or so voted. The recount is automatic and required by law. Coleman hasn’t won yet. Either candidate could win.
People should wait till all of the votes have been counted before they say anything, and if they claim fraud they should have some evidence.
Fair enough. Thank you for your excellent response.
