    I won't ask you to explain yourself, because I know you can't.

    Coleman came out of the election with a 215 vote lead, and in most cases a recount will increase the margin of the leading candidate; no guarantees, but usually. But thanks to several interesting developments, that lead managed to switch, in about the same numbers, to Franken.

    A lot of ballot changes ended up going Franken's way, some would say an inordinate number. Hmmm.

    Also, if a ballot becomes damaged during counting, a duplicate is required to be made and marked "Duplicate." Only it looks like many of these weren't marked "Duplicate," and now more than 25 precincts now have more ballots than voters who signed in to vote. Interestingly, these irregularities run in Franken's favor.

    Another precinct "lost" 133 votes. In other words, a hand recount found 133 fewer votes than were recorded on election night. There is no proof that any votes were actually lost; evidence seems to indicate that officials may have run some of the ballots through twice accidentally on election night. But rather than go with the more accurate hand recount number, officials are going with the election night count (which can't account for 133 ballots)...giving Franken an extra 46 votes.

    But a precinct in a different county went a different way. They, too, had a disparity between election night totals and a hand recount, this time resulting in 177 ballots that weren't recorded on election night. But this time, the board went with the new total...giving Franken an extra 37 votes.

    Absentee ballots are being recounted, but not all of them are getting counted. Counties that went heavily Franken have sent in their absentee ballots to be recorded...but it seems Coleman-dominated counties are dragging their feet. Chalk up another 176 votes for Franken.

    Then there was the interesting manner in which some of the votes were "interpreted." It seems some voters filled in the oval on the ballot, only to put an X through it sometimes. In many cases, iif the X was through a Coleman-filled oval, the X meant "the voter changed their mind and didn't want to vote for Coleman;" if the X was through a filled-in Franken oval, it meant "the voter wanted to emphasize their desire to vote for Franken by filling in the oval and marking it with an X."

    It almost seemed that in liberal-controlled Minnesota, the standard operating procedure for determining which vote counts to accept and which ones to reject hinged on one question: does it benefit Franken?

    All election officials have a responsibility to follow the law and ensure it is applied consistently. But even if they fail in this duty, there are other officials who are charged with "being the grownup" and ensuring others do their job. That official is primarily the Secretary of State.

    But what are the people to do when they can't be sure any grownups are in charge?

    Thus it becomes even more disturbing that liberals are elevating the Secretary of State's office to a level of hyper-partisanship. Is it payback for not being allowed to steal the 2000 presidential election? Is it just a natural evolution in a highly partisan political atmosphere?

    So none of that has anything to do with Coleman's challenge.

    You've done it again

    Well, isn't this the same state that chose a pro-wrestler as its governor? Apparently there's a shortage of lawyers and businessmen in Minnesota.

    Ya see, I knew what response was coming. I knew what he was gonna say. But there was still some level of shock and amazement when I actually read it. Maybe math isn't his strong suit?

    California likes to choose bad actors.
