More Minnesota Comedy: Franken Camp Picking Out Votes From Coleman’s List

The race to find new ballots in Minnesota just keeps getting funnier.

A few weeks ago, Norm Coleman came up with a list of 4,800 rejected absentee ballots for review and possible counting, the majority of which the local newspapers noted came mostly from areas that voted for himself.

Now the Franken camp has submitted just under 1,600 ballots of their own — to be more exact, about half the list are newly-selected ballots, mostly from pro-Franken areas, and the other half is an agreement with some ballots from Coleman’s list.

And as the Star Tribune has discovered, the Franken camp has managed to pick ballots from the pro-Franken parts of the state that happened to be within Coleman’s tilted list.

Is this what Minnesota has come to — cherry-picking from the cherry-picking?
