Dealing a blow but not a knockout to Republican Norm Coleman's hopes, the judges in the U.S. Senate election trial on Friday tossed out most of the 19 categories of rejected absentee ballots they were considering for a second look, making it clear that they won't open and count any ballots that don't comply with state law.
On its face, the ruling looked to be a victory for DFLer Al Franken, whose lawyers had urged the judges to turn down 17 of the 19 categories and said Friday that they had very nearly done it.
"We are obviously very pleased with the court's decision ... there's a large chunk of ballots that have now been taken out of play," said Franken lawyer Marc Elias.
But Coleman's attorneys saw it differently, saying that the ruling leaves untouched about 3,500 of the 4,800 rejected absentee ballots they want the court to open and count, enough to make it possible for Coleman to overcome Franken's 225-vote certified recount lead.

We need to fight these socialist bastards who have temporarily taken over our country at every step -- each and every battle bust be drawn and fought to the last dying breath. From the corrupt "taxes are optional" and "lies are only purgery if Republicans" do it administration selection to every detail on porkulus being put in the sunlight to shrivel or scurry.

Time to play the "disenfranchised voters" card, kids. Just like the left did in Florida 2000. It's not just our right, it's our duty.

Libs only want everyone's vote to count when they're for them. If they're for the conservative they need to be eliminated.
