I
know you are waiting with bated breath....
1) Al Franken received a potentially major boost towards his hopes of becoming Senator on Friday, when Minnesota state officials ruled that absentee ballots rejected because of clerical or administrative errors should, in the end, be counted. The Democratic challenger has spent the past few weeks demanding that the state review the approximately 1,500 absentee ballots that they the race is incredibly tight. The inclusion of this pool of rejected absentee ballots could very well push Franken into the Senate.
(Coleman didn't want these votes to be counted.)
2) The Franken campaign got more good news from the canvass board hearing. The state had, during the recount process, been unable to locate 133 ballots from the Minneapolis area. But rather than disregarding these votes, officials decided that they will use the results from Election Day.
(Coleman didn't want these votes counted either.)
3) Coleman allegedly received $75,000 in unreported payments from a prominent Republican businessman when he was struggling to make payments for the restructuring of his home. (This is what got the Senator from Alaska sent to jail and stripped of his Senate seat.)
