Norm is a sore loser. The poor guy should just leave, he is defeated.
Judges refuse Coleman ballot inspection requestA trio of judges rejected Republican Norm Coleman's request to investigate alleged vote-counting irregularities in precincts around the state over the weekend, just days before they begin hearing Coleman's lawsuit over the Minnesota Senate recount.Coleman's lawyers identified 86 precincts where they said problems may have contributed to Democrat Al Franken's 225-vote lead after the recount. Coleman is suing to overturn the result.The judges said Coleman didn't prove that the inspections were necessary to prepare for the trial, which starts Monday and is expected to last weeks."The court is not convinced that another inspection of the ballots is efficient or needed to prepare for trial," the judges wrote.Coleman's lawyers had said they wanted inspectors to have access not just to ballots but to voter rolls, in order to figure out why in some precincts more people were listed as having voted than there were actual votes. But the judges wrote that state law doesn't allow that.More
if he can get the whole recount thrown out, then Coleman's back up by those, what, 700 votes? With uniform standards (and no way to create more false votes at this point in the game) he might hold on.
