Do we need anymore evidence proving the intentions of the Democrats and Stewart Smalley (aka Al Franken) are out to steal an election in Minnesota away from Senator Norm Coleman?

RedState: Stealing Minnesota: Al Franken Wants To Count Empty Ovals, Not Marked Ovals

I bet you won’t be surprised to learn Al Fraken is contesting that vote.

So, no marks at all go to Franken. Any mark for Coleman must be challenged.

Whistleblower » Blog Archive » One challenge headed to the state so far in Plymouth

The bubble beside Norm Coleman’s name appeared to have both an X and a squiggle in it, but the Al Franken campaign wants the state Canvassing Board to rule on whether it should count. That’s the only challenge in the special envelope in Plymouth so far, according to Sandy Engdahl, the city clerk and the official running the city recount.

Current Recount Results

Take the ballot recount test! Minnesota Public Radio

Notice how Democrats are only interested in counting votes when they lose. Al Franken lost to Senator Norm Coleman but now the democrats are pulling out all the stops in an attempt to steal the election.

This must be an Al Franken recount because it reads like a scene from a Saturday Night Live script.

Minnesota Democrats Exposed

“Let’s assume the 32 disputed ballots in Minneapolis were legitimate. Let’s assume the newly discovered 100 votes in Pine County — all for Al Franken — were just overlooked by a sleepy official, and the 100 votes found in Mountain Iron — again, all for Franken — were valid.

Mischief in Minnesota? - WSJ.com

The vanishing Coleman vote came during a week in which election officials are obliged to double-check their initial results. Minnesota is required to do these audits, and it isn’t unusual for officials to report that they transposed a number here or there. In a normal audit, these mistakes could be expected to cut both ways. Instead, nearly every “fix” has gone for Mr. Franken, in some cases under strange circumstances.

For example, there was Friday night’s announcement by Minneapolis’s director of elections that she’d forgotten to count 32 absentee ballots in her car. The Coleman campaign scrambled to get a county judge to halt the counting of these absentees, since it was impossible to prove their integrity 72 hours after the polls closed. The judge refused on grounds that she lacked jurisdiction.

Some democrats all but admit how they are going to steal the election for Franken using the already in place guidelines. Hiding votes in car trunks and attics…No big deal.

The courts have already rejected a claim that Hennepin County cannot count absentee ballots because they were accidentally left in an election official’s car. Republicans are criticizing St. Louis County (where Duluth is), another Franken stronghold, because the county stores its ballots in the courthouse attic. But that just happens to be the location of a secure room to which the county auditor and chief election official have the only two keys.

What the democrats wont touch or answer is how many Coleman votes are making their way into the trash as the DEMOCRAT election officials transfer the “new found” ballots from their car trunks to the recount table?

There are many steps to a certified election result in Minnesota and each, to Franken’s benefit

The Democrat Firewall

Katherine Kersten - Could Senate recount referee’s resume color the result?

On the day before last week’s election, the respected on-line journal Politico predicted that these SOS victories would bear fruit this year. “Democrats have built an administrative firewall designed to protect their electoral interests in five of the most important battleground states,” Politico said. As a result, they are now “in a more advantageous position when it comes to the interpretation and administration of election law — a development that could benefit Barack Obama if any of those states are closely contested.”

That advantageous position could also benefit a Democrat in a pivotal Senate race, they might have added.

Ritchie said in an interview that he will be impartial in the Coleman-Franken recount. “Just two months ago, we ran two really great primary recounts, and I’m looking forward to the four recounts coming up,” he said.

Thus far, Ritchie has shown no evidence of misconduct. But many Minnesotans are questioning the openness and transparency of the vote tally that just ended.

There are over 150 Million registered voters in the U.S. and CNN touted Obama getting 15 votes to McCains 6 as if the 9 votes just gave Obama the Oval Office.

The race tightened again Sunday as independents who’d been leaning to Obama shifted to McCain to leave that key group a toss-up. McCain also pulled even in the Midwest, moved back into the lead with men, padded his gains among Protestants and Catholics, and is favored for the first time by high school graduates.

Bill Ayers, Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden donate to Obama campaign !

This is a ticking time bomb for Barack Obama.

BarackObama.com’s Lax Security Opens Door to Online Donor Fraud | The Next Right

I just contributed $5 to Barack Obama.

I didn’t want to. Ideally, I could have contributed $0.01 and cost them money. But it was the only way to confirm the root cause of the fraudulent micro-donations to the Obama campaign (”Doodad Pro” for $17,300 and “Good Will” for $11,000).

The Obama campaign has turned its security settings for accepting online contributions down to the bare minimum — possibly to juice the numbers, and turning a blind eye towards the potential for fraud not just against the FEC, but against unsuspecting victims of credit card fraud.

Right Truth: Barack Obama Associations

There is more concern about Obama’s lack of compliance with the law because of its acceptance of prohibited donations from foreign nationals, excessive contributions from individuals, and donations from unknown sources. It does look suspicious when contributors names are: Family Guy, O.J. Simpson, Osama bin Laden, and King Kong.

National Journal Online - FEC Rules Leave Loopholes For Online Donation Data

Barack Obama’s campaign has collected tens of millions of dollars from suspect overseas donors. Their complaints spurred the Republican National Committee on Oct. 6 to ask the Federal Election Commission for an investigation of the Obama donations.

To test the campaigns’ practices, this author bought two pre-paid American Express gift cards worth $25 each to donate to the Obama and McCain campaigns online. As required by law, the campaigns’ Web sites asked for, and National Journal provided, the donor’s correct name, location and employment. The cards were purchased with cash at a Washington, D.C., drugstore, and the campaigns’ Web sites were accessed through a public computer at a library in Fairfax County, Virginia.

The Obama campaign’s Web site accepted the $25 donation, but the McCain campaign’s Web site rejected it.

Atlas Shrugs: UPDATE: RNC FILES SUPPLEMENT COMPLAINT TO FEC

There is enormous amount of money being secreted into the Obama campaign from foreign sources. It is fairly safe to say these countries will be richly rewarded - Kenya, Indonesia but most of all - Obama will drop a load on the UN. Fosho.

The crooked, corrupt international one world global warmers have the largest stake in this election.

Atlas Shrugs:

This simply should not, and could not, happen in any business or any campaign that is honestly trying to vet it’s donors. Also, I don’t see how this could possibly happen without the collusion of the credit card companies. They simply wouldn’t allow any business to process, potentially, hundreds of millions in credit card transactions where the name on the card doesn’t match the purchasers name.

The Corner on National Review Online

Re: Who is John Galt? And Saddam Hussein? [Mark Steyn]

Kathryn, the reader who discovered that the Obama campaign accepts fraudulent donations also emailed me (unfortunately, while New Hampshire’s Third World Internet service was down again). I was interested in the subject because I also have an online credit-card operation over at my website (obviously a little smaller than Senator Obama’s), and so I looked into what our CC processing requires. In order to accept financial donations from “John Galt” and “Saddam Hussein”, whoever runs the Obama website would have to modify the default security checks required by their merchant processor.

Power Line - Who is John Galt?

We’ve previously noted the gusher of illegal campaign contributions flowing into the Obama campaign from contributors such as “Doodad Pro” and “Good Will.” More recently, incidents have been reported in which people have seen credit card charges surface suggesting they donated to Barack Obama when they did not. Matthew Mosk and Sarah Cohen noted one such incident earlier this week:

RedState: Voter fraud, now credit card fraud…

So, gentle reader, we not only have a Democrat trying to buy the election of a President - after he made great press about using only public money in order to avoid the appearance of evil - we have the spectacle of that candidate using credit card fraud to do it.

Let’s be real clear about this. The security protocols have to be manually disabled. It’s not really easy to do and requires the absolute intent to do it. It can’t be done “by mistake”.

National Journal Picks Up Story, Weakly

I see no pressing questions for Barack Obama, demanding to know what possible reason they might have to deliberately cripple the most basic form of credit card security.

I cannot stress enough: AVS is default. It is not an arcane option you can choose. It is the default. To turn it off requires deliberate, intentional action.

And Barack Obama cannot offer any plausible legitimate reason for doing so.
Why does Barack Obama has less security on his credit card donations than my local cheesesteak shop?

It looks like the voters may be waking up to the fact the Democrat controlled Congress with lowest approval rating in history is in need of “change”.

Battle for Congress Suddenly Looks Competitive

A potential shift in fortunes for the Republicans in Congress is seen in the latest USA Today/Gallup survey, with the Democrats now leading the Republicans by just 3 percentage points, 48% to 45%, in voters’ “generic ballot” preferences for Congress. This is down from consistent double-digit Democratic leads seen on this measure over the past year.

The left and the media are abuzz about Newsweek’s Poll showing Barack Obama opening a 15 point lead over John McCain.

But there is one small problem, Newsweek oversampled Democrats 324 to 231 Republicans.

So a sampling of 40% more Democrats to Republicans is needed to give Obama a 15 point lead?

Poll: Obama Opens Up 15-Point Lead | Newsweek Politics

Barack finally has his bounce. For weeks many political experts and pollsters have been wondering why the race between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain had stayed so tight, even after the Illinois senator wrested the nomination from Hillary Clinton. With numbers consistently showing rock-bottom approval ratings for President Bush and a large majority of Americans unhappy with the country’s direction, the opposing-party candidate should, in the normal course, have attracted more disaffected voters. Now it looks as if Obama is doing just that. A new NEWSWEEK Poll shows that he has a substantial double-digit lead, 51 percent to 36 percent, over McCain among registered voters nationwide.

——

Obama’s current lead also reflects the large party-identification advantage the Democrats now enjoy—55 percent of all voters call themselves Democrats or say they lean toward the party while just 36 percent call themselves Republicans or lean that way.

Democrats (including Democrats in the media) are unhappy the presidential race is within five points, so they’re eager to find wider polling margins than that. Yahoo! readers saw this headline at the top of the news on Saturday morning: “Obama widens lead over McCain by 15 points in latest poll.”

Americans who are considering voting for the Democratic Party in the upcoming election, owe it to themselves to know exactly for whom they are voting.

When it comes to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, what they will find are two candidates with dangerous ties to terrorists and anti-American radicals.

Not such a good night for Gordon Brown and the Labour Party

AFP.com

LONDON (AFP) - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown admitted Friday that his party had suffered a “bad” blow in key local elections, as forecasts predicted the worst results for Labour since the 1960s.

—————

The Conservatives have 44 percent of the vote, the Liberal Democrats 25 percent and Labour 24 percent, according to BBC projections, which added that this result would be its worst in local polls since the late 1960s.

With results from 100 out of 159 local councils officially announced, the Conservatives had won 45 local councils, Labour 14 and the Liberal Democrats six. The remainder were not controlled by any single party.

And of course the leftist nutroots like Jerome Armstrong of MYDD are heavily invested in the Labour and Liberal Democrats across the pond, advising candidates like Brian Paddick the liberal democrat who looks to be losing London’s race for Mayor, who looks like he will lose big time to Conservative Party member Boris Johnson.

Here is MYDD’s Jerome Johnson on Paddick;

And you just have to take a look at Brian Paddick, the LD’s candidate for Mayor in London. I got a chance to meet with him, advising him and his staff on using the internet for viral campaign strategy, and what a change he’d bring.
