Only the improperly rejected absentee ballots in question can be opened. All other ballots, whatever status, are officially not in the play
These newly opened ballots can be counted in the same way in each local the same way the official counted the previous ones. So there is no state wide standard, which bodes better for the assclown
That's not what they said. They want valid absentee ballots counted, but it's up to the canvassing board and *both* the candidates to come up with a uniform standard for counting them.
Prediction: Franken and Coleman will not be able to agree on a standard, and they all head back to court again.
