Franken Leads By 48 Votes
With most ballot challenges settled, Al Franken holds a 48-vote lead over Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) in Minnesota's U.S. Senate recount, according to a Minneapolis Star Tribune analysis.
"The new unofficial numbers include most of the allocated votes, but not those from some unresolved ballot challenges. Nor do they include as many as 1,500 to 1,600 improperly rejected absentee ballots that are still to be dealt with. In addition, the Coleman campaign contends that about 130 ballots may have been double-counted and is seeking court action on those."
