(From Minnesota Democrats Exposed, 12/24/08)
"2.9 Million Disenfranchised"
That's the headline of the post. Can you guess why 2.9 million will be disenfranchised? Come on, one guess?
The Supreme Court ruled today that 2.9 million voters in the state of Minnesota be left disenfranchised.
Whoever guessed the Minnesota Supreme Court wins a fruitcake. Seriously, anyone want a fruitcake?
Somehow the Minnesota Supreme Court turning down Norm Coleman's petition to delay certification until the duplicate ballot issue is resolved means that all 2.9 million Minnesota voters have been disenfranchised. This is very high level critical thinking we are dealing with. 133 = 2.9 million. I don't know the exact formula used to make that calculation, but I assure you it must be some advanced statistical algorithm that was specially developed to analyze this issue.
That or Ryan pulled it out of his ass.
Even if you accept the argument that double counting could have happened, and there's no evidence that it did, it doesn't mean 2.9 million voters were disenfranchised, it means up to 133 voters got twice the enfranchisement.
Duplicate ballots have become an issue in this recount,
And why is it that duplicate ballots have become an issue? Was anyone talking about duplicate ballots two weeks ago? No. The only reason that there is an issue is because the Coleman campaign is desperately grasping at any chance to overturn what has become increasingly inevitable, Al Franken will be certified the winner of the election.
anyone who cast a vote in this election should be gravely concerned that their vote may not matter as much as someone else.
Gravely concerned? Really? What about all the people who properly cast absentee ballots that were subsequently rejected? Should they also be gravely concerned? What about all the dead DFLers who voted? They are already gravely concerned, should they be more concerned? What's this about dead DFLers voting?
Team Franken should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for the words in their statement that was released following the Supreme Court's ruling: "We win in Supreme Court."
So let me get this straight. Norm Coleman's campaign files a petition with the Minnesota Supreme Court to halt the certification. The ruling by the Supreme Court, a unanimous ruling by the way, goes in Franken's favor. The Franken campaign responds by saying that the ruling was in their favor. What part of this is shameful?
Team Franken sees winning as turning a blind eye to 2.9 million rightful votes. Al Franken has showed that he does not care about the integrity of the process, he cares only about a title in front of his name.
This is world class hyperbole. I have wonder if there is some specialized training one needs to create such an immense monument to over the top hyperbole. Truly a sight to behold.
This has only begun what will make this process longer unfortunately.
As long as you keep up the tremendous work Ryan, this process couldn't go on long enough.
