Now they figure this out??
The six-month election recount that turned former “Saturday Night Live” comedian Al Franken into a U.S. senator may have been decided by convicted felons who voted illegally in Minnesota’s Twin Cities.
That’s the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.
The final recount vote in the race, determined six months after Election Day, showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes — fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted, according to Minnesota Majority’s newly released study, which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records.
Furthermore, the report charges that efforts to get state and federal authorities to act on its findings have been “stonewalled.”
“We aren’t trying to change the result of the last election. That legally can’t be done,” said Dan McGrath, Minnesota Majority’s executive director. “We are just trying to make sure the integrity of the next election isn’t compromised.”
Too bad the Minnesota supreme court didn’t have the same dedication to see that the last one wasn’t compromised.
He said his group was largely ignored when it turned over a list of hundreds of names to prosecutors in two of the state’s largest counties, Ramsey and Hennepin, where fraud seemed to be the greatest.
A spokesman for both county attorneys’ offices belittled the information, saying it was “just plain wrong” and full of errors, which prompted the group to go back and start an in-depth look at the records.
“What we did this time is irrefutable,” McGrath said. “We took the voting lists and matched them with conviction lists and then went back to the records and found the roster lists, where voters sign in before walking to the voting booth, and matched them by hand.

Franken’s campaign pulled fraudulent ballots out of nowhere and had them counted twice. Under Minnesota law, election officials are required to make a duplicate ballot if the original is damaged during Election Night counting, mark them as “duplicate”, and segregate the original ballots. Officials failed to mark the duplicates, and they were counted in addition to the original ballots. What a coin-ki-dink.
Not only did Minessota get a buffoon as Senator, he was propped up into office by corrupt election officials. ACORN couldn’t have done any better.

The Jews always cheat as it is their nature and after all the Kol Nidre states that they will be forgiven.
Joe,
Franken may be Jewish but that really has nothing to do with his corrupt lack of ethics and character. Hell, Obama’s not Jewish and look at all the slimy corruption in his cabinet and background.
