A Minnesota man broke the law when he voted for Norm Coleman in the November election.

Eric Willems of Warroad is a convicted felon.

In 2004, Willems was convicted and imprisoned for having sexual conduct with a 15-year-old girl when he was 20.

This past November 4th, Williams voted for Coleman while on supervised release.

His vote was counted because officials say once the ballot enters the voting machine there is no way to retrieve it.

5. Somehow...

Coleman will manage to spin this to show that SENATOR FRANKEN's election was tainted.

10. Of course he will, here's how...

Coleman will find some statistics to claim that convicted felons tend to prefer Dems to Repukes, then cite this particular case as proof that convicted felons vote, then he'll show that the number of convicted felons in MN is greater than Franken's margin of victory, and finally assume that all convicted felons voted in the percentages cited in the study. This will "prove" that Franken won on the backs of the "convicted felon" vote.
