Shame on us. We’ve been thinking that the election of Al Franken proved that the people of Minnesota need massive psychiatric intervention. But maybe not if the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is to be believed:
…ACORN does have a special place in its heart for at least one prominent Minnesota politician. Last year, it showered praise on Al Franken, endorsing his run for the U.S. Senate. Franken returned the esteem: “I’m thrilled and honored to receive this endorsement,” he gushed in a press release. He added that he was “more motivated than ever to work with ACORN.”
Fact is, ACORN may deserve the credit and the blame for Franken’s election. The scandal-plagued group claims it registered 75% of Minnesota’s 43,000 new voters. Since Franken’s margin of victory was a mere 312 votes, it seems reasonable to assume that ACORN’s dubious new voters were enough to swing the election in the Democrat’s direction.
Of course, Minnesota’s Democrat Secretary of State Mark Ritchie scoffs at that assertion and says there’s nothing to worry about because Minnesota’s voter verification system guarantees the integrity of the election. But you have to take that with a grain of salt because ACORN also endorsed Ritchie and helped get him elected.
Ritchie’s probably more motivated than ever to work with ACORN, too.

do i need to remind you that bush got elected TWICE? fair elections? yeah right. xD
Mr. Smart, you're probably really good at math...think about all that room on the bus ACORN has when thousands of voters, like Mickey and Minnie, and Jimmy Hoffa and Goerge Washington, etc. don't actually need a seat on the bus!!! That's great!! Let's load up a bunch of SEIU workers and....hey! Let's go to Chitcago and grab a few hundred homeless folks. They'll vote for whoever we tell them to for a beer and a smoke. Check. Done. We elected a dirtbag from SNL!!!! Really doesn't matter who, as long as it's a democrat...Kinda like how the presidential election went. Thanks ACORN and SEIU. And thanks, smart guy
How many Disney characters do you think voted for Bush? smart guy. You're smart, so you know as well as I that all Disney characters (as well as all dead people) vote for Democrats.....like you
ANYONE who tampers with elections should be put away for a long, long time. (or be put to sleep)
2000 dead people voted in Minnesota November 2008. Who do you think voted for them? And who do you think they voted for? Eliminate the 2000 dead people, and Coleman won.
I don't know how I said it twice, but let's just say I felt it needed to be said twice.

A review of Minnesota’s statewide database of registered voters revealed at least 2,812 deceased individuals voted in last November’s general election, according to a new report by the “traditional values” advocacy group Minnesota Majority.

If Bozo was still alive he could run for Senator from Minnesota too!!
Hey, just because there are districts that always go Dem that have more votes cast in them than there are registered voters in the district, doesn't mean there's any election fraud going on.
It was sure suspicious.
