The recount in Minnesota continues to dominate the news.
Franken is inching closer to Coleman’s vote total but
there are still a lot of votes to count and then a steadily
growing number of challenged ballots that will have to be
cussed and discussed. Also today we have news from Ohio
where another close race, 15th Congressional District, may
be decided by provisional ballots. Over 27,000 provisional
ballots in Franklin Co were not going to be counted but a
federal judge has stepped-in and ruled that at least 1,000
of those ballots must be counted and that will probably lead
to a count of all of the ballots. Of course there is an
appeal of this ruling so it will be another week at least
before there is any final decision....
