Meanwhile, in other Midwestern scandals....

Apparently the Senate race in Minnesota, where a narrow Democratic defeat was miraculously followed by the discovery of a bunch of lost ballots that had never been counted

(oops),

and then by the losing of others

(oops)

- will be decided by the counting of absentee ballots that somehow were "wrongfully excluded" the first time

(oops).

The pattern is sickeningly reminiscent of what the Democrats pulled in 2000 in Florida, when their attempt to steal Florida and the White House through recount shenanigans failed,and of what they pulled in the Washington gubernatorial race in 2004, when they actually succeeded in stealing the election by such means.

Somehow all sorts of uncounted Democratic ballots always seem to miraculously appear whenever a Democrat loses a close election. And since manual recounts create an ideal opportunity for vote fraud of a kind Democrats have been practicing for decades (there are even specialists who brag about how good they are at it!), especially loud alarm bells need to go off whenever they're helped along by ballots which vanish and reappear quite as frequently as they have in the Coleman-Franken race.

This stinks to high heaven. They caught Rod Blagojavich before he could sell Barack Obama's Senate seat. Hopefully the Minnesota seat won't be filled by a different kind of Democratic corruption.
