Seat Al Fraken, I guess the Majority, That is the People that Vote, Don’t Count!
If this was turned around the Corporate Media would be throwing a Propaganda Fit, Fox, CNN and NBC would had Coleman already Seated. We, the people think we elect people but I guess that’s not true, so every time we don’t like the outcome of a election, we the people should take them to court and stop the whole system until are politicians grow up and play by the rules.
I guess the majority, that is the people that vote, don’t matter, it’s the politicians and courts that say who gets elected?

hey, thanks for your concern. You needn't worry, though. It'll soon be over and it'll be Senator Franken. Another two or three weeks, until all the appeals allowed under Minnesota law are done. Take it from someone who is a Minnesotan.

| 2. Been hearing that for a month... |

still think someone should be leaning on MN to streamline your process...this is taking far far too long. I'd be saying that even if Coleman had been the obvious winner. Any review process that cannot wrap-up within 30 days needs to be seriously reviewed, reconsidered and fixed.

| 3. Well, Minnesota state law regarding elections is being |
|
followed to the letter. Any change in those laws would have no effect on this election...only on future ones.
In a contested election, either candidate may take the case to court after the recount, which was automatic in this case, and that takes time. I don't like it either, but the laws are being followed. I don't see any alternative path that could be taken, do you?
Just over 300 votes separate the two candidates.
