This one is going to get ugly (if it isn't there already) You have 2 candidates who really don't like each other, and are all lawyered up.
The final margin is going to be close enough so that the contested ballots will make the difference, I don't envy the job the canvassing board has that's for sure. No matter what it's going to end up in court at some point.

Franken's group has also challenged 27 more ballots than Coleman's, so Coleman still has a cushion.
And no one knows what's going to happen about the disallowed absentee ballots -- or who they favored.
I'm actually pretty surprised there's been so little movement. 64% or so recounted.

It makes you long for the days when things were settled at 10 paces at high noon.

I really don't want my next Senator decided by who gets more of the votes from people who are severly confused by the nation's most simple ballot.
All they have to do is fill in the circle. They are instructed verbally. They receive a piece of paper which tells them to fill in the circle. Then there is another copy of the instructions in the voting booth showing and example of a filled in circle.
I'll look on the bright side though. Other parts of the world fight battles over this sort of thing. If the price of peace is allowing mistaked ballots and arguing over intent, then I'll take it.

Probably won't be decided by the challenged ballots, however. More likely to be the absentee ballots.
