Coleman: 1,725 rejected votes should be counted


Mar 6th, 2009 | ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Attorneys for Norm Coleman are arguing that their legal case is still valid and that about 1,725 rejected absentee ballots should be opened and counted.

The court papers filed Friday respond to an effort by Al Franken's attorneys to dismiss Coleman's lawsuit challenging the Minnesota Senate recount.

Franken's attorneys argue Coleman has failed to meet his burden of proof that in the case. He is trying to overcome Franken's 225-vote lead.

Coleman's attorneys say documents and testimony show the court should count certain votes.

2. By the time this mess is over it will be time for another election.

The adults need to declare Franken the winner so we can get on with the very important business of the state.

3. This is the republicans only way to hold up votes

By keeping this undecided, Minn is not being represented and Coleman is a crybaby and a traitor.

a nice, cushy job."

8. It way past time for the court's to shut down this guy and his

lawsuit. It's way past anything that could be called 'reasonable' and it's wasting time and money on so many levels.

10. I think the courts are becoming a joke....put a stop to this...

11. This court is much more patient than I would be, that's for sure!

12. This thing needs to be done already.

Coleman probably thinks if he doesn't get this job, the way the economy is going, he may not get a job.
