Thanks for the clarification. In that case, pay close attention to the number of ballot challenges. If the process is honest, I’d expect that the overwhelming number of challenges from both sides will be tossed. So if one side has more challenges than the other, that side will have fewer votes when the challenge process is completed.
CBSNews: “Through Friday, figures reported by the secretary of state showed Franken volunteers had challenged 778 ballots; Coleman volunteers had challenged 747.”
