I get the very bad feeling that Al Franken is going to manage to steal this election.
With about a zillion eyes on the process, I'd say that anyone who could still manage to "steal" an election has almost proven themselves too clever for political office.
Also, did you read the article?
The big unknown is how many of the withdrawals were an attempt by each campaign to stifle an opponent's vote - rather than an attempt to get one for themselves off an unclear ballot. Among those the board considered, Franken had far more challenges where he secured an extra vote for himself than Coleman.
Looks like Coleman's main strategy is to try to knock out votes for his oponent, while Franken's is to reclaim lost, legitimate votes for him.
So who's "stealing?"
