VIDEO: Franken camp claims disenfranchisement

By GottaLaff

There's that nasty word again... "disenfranchisement":

In its quest to turn Republican incumbent Norm Coleman’s seat blue, the Franken campaign cited voter disenfranchisement in its latest conference call to reporters this afternoon.

Franken spokesman Andy Barr showed reporters a video of voters whose ballots were thrown out due to technicalities, he said. Barr said some local elections officials made “simple mistakes, human mistakes.”

As I've said before, I'm not feeling optimistic. From the Franken campaign:

In the closest Senate race in Minnesota history, every vote should be counted fairly.

But there are Minnesotans who had their votes thrown out, even though they did nothing wrong.

They voted absentee, but their ballots were improperly rejected because of someone elses mistake.

And in the closest Senate race in Minnesota history, their votes remain uncounted.
