4. What a great ruling - count every vote

Wish damn SCOTUS of 2000 had ruled the same in Bush v Gore. We could have saved this country and world a lot of pain and suffering.

Congratulations to Al Franken who will probably win the race and to the MN Supreme Court for doing the right thing!

If the rule of law had prevailed in the presidential election of 2000?
What an expensive lesson on the cost of complacency!

You and I both would make sure that 2000 election never got stolen. Lots of lives would have been saved.

That's the way ya do it!

"The question is, if they are legal votes, why shouldn't they be counted? That presents a difficulty for the Coleman camp."
