ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota voters testified Tuesday their ballots had been unfairly rejected as Republican Norm Coleman argued that thousands of disqualified absentee ballots should be counted in the U.S. Senate race.
“Perhaps my signature is not as good as it once was,” Gerald Anderson of St. Paul told the three-judge panel hearing Coleman’s lawsuit. “It gets cloudy and crooked. I am 75 years old.”
But that shouldn’t have disqualified his vote, he said. “I want it back. I’m entitled to my vote.”
A statewide recount gave Democrat Al Franken a 225-vote edge.
The personal stories that Anderson and five other voters told are just one front on Coleman’s effort to have more votes counted.
