I don't think you can say that anyone is stealing the election when a bipartisan panel of judges--not election officials, but judges and Supreme Court of Minnesota judges--are doing the counting.
Most of the challenged ballots have turned out to be valid. Coleman has challenged roughly twice as many ballots as Franken has, so it makes sense that Franken is gaining ground. There's no jiggery-pokery here, just a breathtakingly close election that will break the loser's heart, whoever that proves to be.
If you want to talk about stolen elections, talk about Florida in 2000. Don't stop at 1960, which has since been proven to be a valid election.
