I believed that yesterday they reviewed the ballots that Franken had challenged which, of course, would benefit Coleman. Today they reviewed the ballots which Coleman challenged which will benefit Franken.
This ruling is regarding the improperly rejected absentee ballots which absentees typically swing for Republicans. However, with the large “vote early” effort by Democrats this election cycle, I think that Franken is hoping that they will benefit him.
Supposedly, Franken’s people CALLED voters to ask about their votes. I assume these were absentee, as the name etc are on those.
