in recount lawyers. They say they are going to call for a recount because there was a lot of fraud in counting these votes. The say Emmer is going to win. Yeah like they did to Franken. They are just loosers when they lose they won't admit it. Oh well Minnesotans here we go again the asinine republicans are going to hold up the governorship.

GOP vows fight in possible Minn. gov recount
By The Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The head of Minnesota's Republican Party is vowing to aggressively fight Democrats in a possible recount of the state's too-close-to-call governor's race.

Republican Tom Emmer and Democrat Mark Dayton were separated by just a few thousand votes out of more than 2 million cast. That's a margin small enough to trigger an automatic recount under state law.

On Wednesday GOP chairman Tony Sutton vowed to "turn over every stone" to help nominee Tom Emmer make up a deficit of about 9,000 votes. That difference falls within the bounds of a mandatory statewide recount.

2. An automatic recount was triggered by the results.
They're just posturing. It's more bullshit. Dayton will be the Governor. It's just going to take a bit of time to solidify his win.
