Coleman Lead Endangered by Franken Affidavits

(snip)

Both the Nov. 4 vote tally and the subsequent recount show that Coleman won the election. The affidavits presented by Franken would wipe out nearly a third of Coleman’s current 192-vote lead if accepted, however.

Looking at the article's title, please tell me if I'm missing something. Let's see, 192 vote lead minus 62 "vote" addition (entered into my trusty HP12C) equals... what?... 130. Again, am I missing something? Or is this that Democratic "new" math?

yea the article is not very accurate.

Franken is not trying to get those 62 votes counted. He is using the 62 affidavits as evidence that the 2000 absentee ballots which were illegally rejected should be counted.
