Its lies
United States Senate election in Minnesota, 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Further investigations
In July 2010, Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, conducted a study in which they claimed that at least 341 convicted felons in the largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul area voted illegally in the Senate race.[112] Subsequent investigations of Minnesota Majority's claims by election officials found that many of their allegations were incorrect. Some of the cases that were submitted involved mistaking a legal voter for a felon with the same name, others involved felons who had had their voting rights reinstated after serving their sentences, and others were felons who illegally registered to vote, but did not vote in 2008 election.[113][114] Columnist Nick Coleman of the Minneapolis-based Star Tribune called the idea that illegal voting by felons made a difference in the race "unbelievable" and the Minnesota Majority report "good fodder for a right-wing scare campaign."[115]
In October 2010, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office concluded an extensive investigation into 110 allegations of fraud, which resulted in six charges being filed two individuals were charged with the separate felonies of registering to vote while ineligible and voting while ineligible and four others were charged with voting while ineligible.[116]

it was lies
"We received about 480 names from Minnesota Majority," Ramsey County's lead prosecutor Phil Carruthers told KARE Wednesday, "About 270 were clearly inaccurate and were rejected right from the get-go."
He said a quick review revealed the names and birthdates didn't match, or that the felons in question were no longer barred from voting.
"They were ruled out usually because they had the wrong identity of a person," Carruthers explained, "Or because the person no longer was on probation, and thus their civil rights had been restored."
ok...let's just nip this in the bud now....
first off "Obamacare" was passed 60-39 in the Senate. In the House, it was passed by reconciliation(a simple majority) in a 219-212 vote.
Simply put, if you put Franken's vote and changed it to a "nay"....it still would have passed 218-213.
your premise is false.
No. You have a short memory. The Franken election was closely watched precisely because if the Republican had won, ObamaCare would have been dead in its tracks in the Senate by way of fillibuster. The Dems needed 60 votes to break the fillibuster and Franken gave them the final vote they needed.
Give us the convictions.
Lets see the names and cases.
Its public record go get it
