Coleman-Franken recount: GOP’s McConnell weighs in on status of Senate election

By Jay Weiner | 04/01/09

Here's a statement from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell about Tuesday's ruling by the three-judge panel:

“The court’s decision in Minnesota leaves no other choice but to continue the process to ensure that every legal vote is counted.

“Minnesotans deserve a final ruling that applies consistent ballot standards and addresses serious unresolved questions in order to have any confidence in the accuracy of the result.

“Although we all want finality to this historically close election, patience must outweigh partisanship as Minnesotans continue the process to attain the accurate results from Election Day.”

Where was this clown when the eight members of the Party of Corporate Welfare were arrested in Clay County, Kentucky, last week?
