Minnesota U.S. Senate contest - Summarizing video
The Minnesota contest court will review 400 absentee ballots tomorrow and is expected to add most of them to the vote totals of Norm Coleman and Al Franken. The court has not yet dealt with the allegations by Coleman of double-counting, missing ballots, and equal protection violations. Whether the will be ready to dispose of those issues tomorrow remains to be seen. The Star Tribune website is hosting a video created by TheUptake.org that summarizes the contest thus far.
