Pawlenty should have led the charge. These guys are all losers. Since the GOP wants to play nice, Norm’s doomed IMHO.

The Dems don’t care how it looks or what people say as long as they can rig a win.

Hopefully, our local media will start asking why a crucial safeguard to the election process was knowingly allowed to fail, and what caused that failure.

Yes, I expect the Strib to get right on it.

OK-I deal with MN hunter-types out here in SW ND. There are some that are decent & nice, but for the most part, they are citified uppity people who think I’m a stupid hick bcs I live out here.
Most MN natives from the CITY are pretty crappy people.

I’m one of those MN native hunter types currently living in the city. Nice stereotyping. Now go clean the outhouse and fetch some water from the creek before your date with your cousin.

Most of the problems I’ve had with other people hunting weren’t from those from the cities, but local yokels who went out of the way to screw with “those people” from “The Cities”- which they define as anywhwere between St. Cloud and Rochester. Many had a complete disregard for hunting regulations and ethics as well.

Fortunately I managed to get 3 deer, no thanks to the local idiot who illegally drove up on his ATV right when season opened.

Nothing to see here folks, move along.

Our votes should be subject to the same rules of evidence. Instead, Demcrats in Minnesota are participating in a total perversion of justice. They should be ashamed — and afraid. Do they want to live in a police state?

the machines had the wrong IP address entered on the cards.

Was the new IP address senatorfranken.com?

Yeah that’s the unfortunate part about wireless. In addition to not being very secure, it’s just not very stable. You wouldn’t believe the number of times I’ve had a wireless card work, not work, then work again – hell, I’ve got one right now that works just fine … until I start a torrent. Then it causes the computer to hard lock and blue screen.

The failure of all 860+ machines makes it sound like something happened at the receiving end of the transmission though. A single point of failure somewhere in the system probably.

Agree with the final paragraph. They probably had a Democrat as the lead system administrator.

Wireless cards are not normally loaded with an IP address — unless they’ve got some really weird hardware, the OS usually handles that part. Secure wireless transmission would require some form of VPN and special wireless-to-wired routers, unless they have the Mark IV Multitronic Unit, in which case they do not want to be wearing a red shirt and stand between it and any source of power; they would then have more than enough wattage to transmit all the way to the State election center at DNC headquarters.

I know of two people who voted Obama and Coleman. I would hate to see the “hanging chad” interpretation come up with these ballots.

This has fraud written all over it. I’m actually thinking about volunteering to watch the recount.

But Urban Democrats/ ACRON operatives know how to play games with voters, registration, email GOTV efforts, counting, provisionals, etc.

If its close, they can steal it.

Also, this country won’t be healed until Obama gets 99% of the vote.

Washington’s most populous county is/was King County (Seattle and surrounding areas) – and it was King County where most of the new votes materialized for the democrat.
