Thats the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.
it is my understanding that every one of those felons voted for Coleman.....how would that have changed the election?
The premise of the article was not that Franken "lost", but that felon's actually voted and the system is broken...
The six-month election recount that turned former "Saturday Night Live" comedian Al Franken into a U.S. senator may have been decided by convicted felons who voted illegally in Minnesota's Twin Cities.

Norm Coleman.
The final recount vote in the race, determined six months after Election Day, showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes -- fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted, according to Minnesota Majority's newly released study, which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records.
Furthermore, the report charges that efforts to get state and federal authorities to act on its findings have been "stonewalled."
"We aren't trying to change the result of the last election. That legally can't be done," said Dan McGrath, Minnesota Majority's executive director. "We are just trying to make sure the integrity of the next election isn't compromised."

Sorry, Willow, but trusting any conservative website in such a case as this is like trusting TM when she says that Obama is the best thing to have ever happened to this country.
They can make that claim, but it doesn't make it so.

Where did I say that Immie?
Have you joined the lying crew here and started pissing in your own eyes?
And your proof is what that there was anything wrong with this election?
That would be the study that shows convicted Felons voted. You know, the one this entire thread is about.
Seriously, It's one thing to be ignorant of the evidence. It's another thing to be posting in a thread about the evidence and pretending it doesn't exist.
they checked the names, on the roster, and on the felony convict list,, they checked it three ways three times and still they say "may" prove them wrong.

These kind of people that are arguing that nothing wrong was done cannot be helped nothing can be said to prove to them just how wrong they are.. Everybody should know that convicted felons do not have any rights to vote. It has been that way for years and years.

The study was done by a right wing hack site.
They have given no evidence to back their claims.
Some how that is enough for you to believe what they say?

Look and listen.
NO ONE IS SAYING FRANKEN LOST NOR ARE THEY SAYING HE CHEATED. WHAT THE INVESTIGATION HAS FOUND OUT WAS THAT FELONS WERE ALLOWED TO VOTE.
Do you understand this?
