Does anybody knows what's going on here? Are they now done counting ballots?
Republicans seem supremely confident about holding this seat - Ensign has already congratuled Coleman.
Ballot counting is done. They're just relooking over the figures to see if everything matches, but I suspect that will be done by today.
Part of the problem with gaining in MN election recounts is that the ballots are all paper ballots. So, a recount will consist of examining each paper ballot and making sure the intent is correctly done and then recalculating.
It is quite rare that this process results in any changes to the figures other than superficial ones. Listen to what Franken says and you'll understand a bit more on the process.
So it's over? I watched a clip from the Franken presser, but I didn't glean anything that was particularly enlightening.
All the absentee and military ballots have been counted? Is that possible?
