In the first sane move

of what is the Minnesota senate election, the state Canvassing Board has denied democrat challenger Al Franken's request to reconsider absentee ballots that were disqualified from the vote tally for one reason or another.

It is my humble opinion that Franken, along with his lap dog Secretary of State Mark Ritchie has tried everything he can to steal this election. Matt Drudge had a ballot on his website that Franken was contesting that was clearly marked in Senator Coleman's favor. I can't really blame him too much as only a couple hundred votes separate the two, but let's try not to be too obvious about it.
