FiveThirtyEight.com: Politics Done Right: Franken Jumps Out to 225-Vote Lead on Strength of Absentee Ballots

How in the world is old Rush going to spin this one? Hell, Coleman negotiated the number of recounts with Franken, so everything should be on the up an up right? No, Rush will say Franken stole it with illegal ballots. I may even have to watch O'Reilly tomorrow night...nah.


FiveThirtyEight.com: Politics Done Right: Franken Jumps Out to 225-Vote Lead on Strength of Absentee Ballots: "All told, Franken gained a net of 176 ballots from the 952 under review according to The Uptake's unofficial count, putting him 225 votes ahead in the recount overall. Excluding disqualified ballots, Franken won 53.7 percent of the votes counted today, Coleman 34.1 percent, and other candidates 12.4 percent. Franken's 225-vote advantage is now slightly larger than the one Norm Coleman held before the recount began, when he led by 215 votes based on the certified Election Night tally."
