One of the last remaining steps in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race recount was temporarily halted Saturday morning when attorneys with Republican incumbent Norm Coleman's campaign attempted to stop the counting of about 950 improperly rejected absentee ballots.
Coleman trails Democrat Al Franken by about 50 votes.
The state's Supreme Court had ordered that rejected absentee ballots be counted if local officials and each campaign could agree that the selected ballots were rejected mistakenly.
Franken's campaign just said "go ahead and count 'em". But Coleman...no, he wants valid votes rejected, but wants to add some other votes (likely for him), because now he's losing.
Coleman only tries to block ballots from Democratic leaning areas, too. Typical.
Franken's campaign has been rather silent, for the most part just letting things play out. Coleman has been doing legal maneuvers left and right. I thought the GOP was against all the frivolous lawsuits.
Hypocrite.
