Today’s latest results show the DFL challenger is now trailing Republican incumbent Norm Coleman by 206 votes. That’s down from 221 over the weekend.
As of 1 p.m., Coleman has 1,211,562 votes to Franken’s 1,211,356.
The difference between Coleman and Franken, which stood at 725 votes in Coleman’s favor Wednesday morning, has changed several times since then as county officials have checked results and sent the adjusted figures to the state. For the most part, the margin between the two has narrowed with each change.
The Coleman campaign has questioned the validity of changes. Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie has responded that the revisions are typical and that no fraud is being committed.
Has Coleman’s total been going up as well?
Or are all of these “found votes” Franken’s

And Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny have EVERYTHING under control!!
Dumb question. Did they happen to find more votes for Coleman and have the military votes been counted?
