| When All Is Said And Done, Al Franken Will Be Minnesota's 2nd Senator |
| So after the initial count he was 215 behind Norm Coleman, well within the 0.5% margin triggering a recount. During that recount approximately 7000 ballots were challenged which removed them from the totals, very slightly more by Coleman than Franken. Coleman currently stands about 150ish ahead (it's impossible to tell for sure) after the actual recount, but now the challenged ballots, as well as rejected absentee ballots (of which there are 12000, around 1000 of which are believed to be wrongly rejected) have to be considered by basically an election court. So who will win? |

Note: I am not saying I think he should win, or it is democratic that he will win, I'm just
asking if he will win or not.
Personally, I think he'll take it by a whisker. His ballot challenging team is much more experienced
than Coleman's, which suggests he will get just over 50% of those ballots given to him and
pre-election polling suggests he is likely to gain votes as absentee ballots are included after
rejection. |
