Yesterday ,at or about 5:30 PM, the Coakley campaign issued a press release alleging that Republicans were engaged in vote fraud and that ballots pre-marked for Scott Brown were handed out outside polling places.

Notice anything strange about the press release?

That's right, it's dated yesterday, the day before the election.

Unless Scott Brown wins by a decisive margin, there is apparently a strategy in place to allege fraud and then have a recount... in which bundles of votes from Democrat districts will mysteriously appear in weeks after the election in numbers sufficient to put the Democrat over the top. Which is exactly what happened in the elections of Al Franken and Christine Gregoire.

Did I mention that Martha Coakley has hired Marc Elias, the head recount lawyer for Franken and also worked on Gregoire's recount?

Is it paranoid to think that something that happened before could happen again under similar circumstances?
