So, we still have about 133 ballots missing in Minnesota, but now we have some twists, with the Coleman campaign claiming that they never existed, and election officials saying that they most certainly do exist. Given the circumstances, I’d go with the election officials:
Minneapolis elections chief Cindy Reichert explained yesterday that the ballots were placed in envelopes numbered 1 to 5 — and they’re missing the “1” envelope, probably still in storage at the warehouse. The precinct has obtained a waiver from the Secretary of State to keep their recount officially open while a thorough search goes on.
If envelope “5” were missing, Coleman and His Evil Minions™ might have a case, but not for envelopes 1, 2, 3, and 4.
This entire thing gets even crazier when you discover that elections officials just found another envelope of missing ballots, but only 12-20 uncounted absentee ballots, not the 133.
Franken campaign is saying that they are up by 4 votes, but considering how random things are when the count is this close, it’s really flipping a coin, I just hope that the coin isn’t “Two Face’s” coin, because if it’s Two Face, Norm “Two Face” Coleman wins.
