molson_golden2002 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 From some website somewhere: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Associated Press is uncalling the Minnesota Senate race. Republican Sen. Norm Coleman finished ahead of Democrat Al Franken early Wednesday in the final vote count, but his 571-vote margin falls within the state's mandatory recount law. That law requires a recount any time the margin between the top two candidates is less than one-half of one percent. The AP called the race prematurely. Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie said the recount won't begin until mid-November at the earliest and will probably stretch into December. It will involve local election officials from around the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
