They haven’t counted the Franken challenges that he rescinded yet. Wait till then to cry. There are several hundred ballots that Franken had originally challenged that have yet to be counted.

#28 has the key question. Each side withdrew many challenges. The results of THOSE ballots were not included in the Star Trib original count. Yesterday, Coleman’s lead was falling much faster than challenges were decided, and there is one account that Coleman’s WITHDRAWN challenges were being factored in (i.e., mostly restoring votes to Franken), but that they would only do Franken’s withdrawn challenges today. If that is true, we simply don’t know how many votes Coleman will gain when that happens, but it should be sizeable. Whether it will be enough is simply unknown.
