Some Better News
It looks like Al Franken might be pulling ahead in the Minnesota Senate recount. The recount shows Franken up by 2535 votes as of December 2nd at 8:00 PM. The only thing is that the page appears to show that Franken had a 2623 vote lead after the November 4th election, rather than Coleman with a 215 vote lead. I'm hoping this discrepancy is because they aren't including absentee ballots in the numbers. Otherwise, something fishy is up. But it is the Minnesota Secretary of State's official page, so I'll give the benefit of the doubt. So far the Coleman campaign has challenged 183 more ballots than the Franken campaign. The challenged ballots from both sides will most likely end up determining the outcome of the election, as 92.69% of ballots have been counted.

ReplyDeleteoh, yeah, but yay al.
and i'm disappointed in obama that he didn't come to rally the voters here. turnout was dismal.
I can barely control my excitement over the prospect of having another clown in the US Congress. Only one thing I hope he is funnier and makes more sense than he has in the past.
ReplyDeleteYay Al!
