Some Crosstalk listeners may remember the voter debacle that took place in Minnesota that resulted in the election of Senator Al Franken in 2008. Robert reported that there were numerous recounts and ballots were even found in car trunks. The result was the additional 312 votes that allowed Franken to defeat incumbent Senator Norm Coleman. Robert expressed regret over the fact that Coleman conceded the election to Franken in spite of the fact that over 1,000 felons voted who weren’t eligible to vote. This particular election was critical because it was the 60th vote for Obamacare.
This is just the first example mentioned as Robert and Jim discussed voter fraud and the apparent need for some kind of voter identification system.
