Proving Stalin's quote...

Can we officially say the election process in the United States has now forever been corrupted?

The six-month election recount that turned former “Saturday Night Live” comedian Al Franken into a U.S. senator may have been decided by convicted felons who voted illegally in Minnesota’s Twin Cities.

That’s the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.

The final recount vote in the race, determined six months after Election Day, showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes — fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted, according to Minnesota Majority’s newly released study, which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records.

Unfortunately, I don't think they can demand a recount or the removal of Mr. Sleepyhead (as the MMM states later on in the article).   They can't say with 100% certain that 341 votes went to Franken... (right... and I have ocean front property in Missouri to sell you!)

Unfortunately, now we're getting a Stalinism in action -  ““It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
