New Ballots Found in Minnesota
In the final day of the Minnesota U.S. Senate race recount, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that 171 uncounted ballots suddenly turned up and "apparently had been uncounted because of a ballot-counting-machine malfunction on Election Day."

Al Franken (D) made a net gain of 37 votes from the ballots, as he got 91 of the total, to 54 for Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) and 26 for other candidates.

The Secretary of State's office gives Coleman a 305 vote edge, however, this assumes all challenged ballots will remain uncounted. The Franken campaign insists Coleman's lead is about 50 votes.

Nate Silver, who previously projected Franken would win in the recount, now calls Coleman a "slight favorite."
