The fraud was committed by Republicans who prevented Franken from taking his rightfully won seat for six months

Some research I did:
2008 Minnesota U.S. Senate Election: Results after election contest[1][2][64][65]
Party Candidate Votes
DFL Al Franken 1,212,629
Republican Norm Coleman 1,212,317
The difference?
312 votes.
The report finds that 113 individuals who voted illegally in the 2008 election have been convicted of the crime, "ineligible voter knowingly votes" under Minnesota Statute 201.014.
--
Minnesota's recent charges and convictions stem from research initiated by Minnesota Majority. The research identified upwards of 2,800 ineligible felons believed to have unlawfully voted in Minnesota's 2008 general election.
--
At the time of this report, nearly 200 additional cases are still pending trial.
So: 113 convictions. 200 more pending cases. 2,800 ineligibles possibly voted.
That assumes those 113 people all voted for Franken. And it still wouldn't have made a difference.
Personally, I'm wondering why you think a person with a criminal record shouldn't be allowed to vote. They did their time.
How do you know for sure that just the dem party was the only beneficiary?
Are you trying to sell that there is no voter fraud coming from the con side?
How so?

They were criminals, of course they voted for Franken.

No doubt YOU would allow them to voted democrat while in prison.
Some countries do let convicts vote. Israel does, for instance, if they are Jews.
to the point, though, when you've got the national insanity of throwing 2 million people in prison and a lot more on parole or probation or with convictions to feed a prison industrial complex, you probably need to address this level of disenfranchisement.

Ah yes, like so many leftists, you're a Nazi fuck.
Of course Israel has NO bearing on U.S. elections. Whether felons vote is an issue each state decides.

So, would you then demand that 2 million votes be added to the democrats each election, just to be fair?
Or would you rather just do away with elections and have the party directly appoint our rulers?
The Zionists have become the Nazis...
It's kind of sad, they are like abused children who've gotten big enough to beat up on someon else.
But to the point, why should one lose the franchise because you were convicted of a crime?
The sentence should be you lose your freedom or your property or your good name. But they should not be able to take away your constitutional rights.
Take that up with the states. However, your shameful party tends to VIOLATE election law by having felons, illegal aliens, and particularly the dead, vote.

That'd be OVER 2 million, more like 2.5 mil and well over any other industrialized country excluding China. Non violent felons are still citizens and I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to vote.
actually, we have more prisoners than China does, a communist dictatorship with four times as many people.
Which is exactly the problem with making prisons a for-profit business. If someone makes money off it, you get a lot more of that, so you get three-strikes laws putting people in prison for life for stealing a slice of pizza.
Yet oddly, the Bush Adminstration did a five year investigation trying to prove organized vote fraud and came up completely empty...

Man,,this never dies,,,except in the courts.
Look, the RNC and the Minny GOP hired their top attorneys to represent them. After all the proceedings/presentations/recounts; etc, Franken was declared the winner. The GOP accepted it and Norm Coleman accepted it, they all moved on. Also, Norm Coleman is making a ton-o-bucks with the PAC he started. He's happy. But I guess some people are still hung up on this event almost 4 years later.

Yep, we should just accept the fact that democrats will use fraud to steal elections.

I oppose voter fraud in all forms and cases.
That's why common sense safeguards, such as voter ID, are so important.
