RNC Statement on Minnesota Senate Race


WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Republican National Committee Chairman Robert M. "Mike" Duncan released the following statement today regarding Al Franken's latest attempt to be seated in the U.S. Senate without an election certificate.

"Al Franken's outrageous attempt to seat himself in the U.S. Senate without an election certificate is an insult to Minnesotans and all those who believe in the rule of law. While Franken has unfairly been the beneficiary of double-counted votes, 'missing' ballots, and inconsistent standards regarding absentee ballots, he's clearly concerned he will lose his artificial lead as this process moves forward."

Paid for by the Republican National Committee.

What they said was a paid bullshit.

The Franken camapign did not "attemept to seat" Franken "without an election certificate". They attempted to get the election certificate WHICH WAS SIGNED BY THE STATE CANVASSING BOARD, signed by the governor/secretary of state----so that he could be seated. They refused, pending the outcome of the court case that Coleman has brought, which means Minnesota will go another three months without a Senator. No one expected this to happen any differently, but it would have been stupid not to make the request.

How do you know when a Republican is lying and distorting? When his lips are moving.
