If you been watching the race in Minnesota you know that the Democrats are trying to pull a fast one on Norm Coleman. Now Franken is citing “missing ballots”:

“Things are getting even dicier in the Minnesota Senate recount.

Al Franken’s campaign is contending that Minnesota election officials may have lost several dozen ballots across the state. Their basis for the charge is that the number of recounted ballots in certain counties does not match the total numbers of votes tallied on Election Day.

The campaign sent a letter to Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie detailing their concerns yesterday.

“It appears that there were numerous ballots that were counted on election day, but that are no longer available for consideration during the recount,” Franken recount attorney David Lillehaug wrote.

“This is a matter of profound concern and apparently a violation of the Franken campaign’s right [and the Coleman campaign's right] to review every ballot cast on election night.”

And now they have photographic evidence of one of those missing ballots, stuck under a voting machine in Hennepin County. The picture was snapped by one of Franken’s recount observers.”

Here’s the “evidence”:

Oh please, that could be tissue paper for all we know. I would suggest that if Franken and his hacks are looking for missing ballots they should look in Minnesota Election Director Cynthia Reichert’s car.
