Franken wins by changing the rules.
1st July 2009
The Minnesota Supreme Court yesterday declared Democrat Al Franken the winner of last year’s disputed Senate race, and Republican incumbent Norm Coleman’s gracious concession at least spares the state any further legal combat. The unfortunate lesson is that you don’t need to win the vote on Election Day as long as your lawyers are creative enough to have enough new or disqualified ballots counted after the fact.
If we’re going to have a Senate that’s a joke, the least we could do is get somebody who’s actually funny, like Robin Williams.
