Re: Felons Voting Illegally May Have Put Franken Over the Top in Minnesota, Study Fin
I completely agree. To me this is no different if some Republican won because of a similar series of events in another state. The fact that it seems like it is fairly easy to commit voter fraud in Minnesota makes me think the elections committee there should seriously look into it.
For me at least, the issue isn't who the felons voted for, it's that their votes even counted. How were they able to register to vote? It doesn't matter who won at this point. Even if every single one of them voted for Stuart Smalley, it won't change the fact that Stuart Smalley is a Congressman from the state of Minnesota. Ths issue here, and some people on both sides seem to be blurring the issue with reciting their party's talking points, is that this is voter fraud - plain and simple. The people of MN should be outraged - not that Smalley may or may not have won because of voter fraud, but that the integrity of the state's election system is seriously flawed.
