oh crap

Election crap isn't over the MN - the senate race is too close to call:

Coleman (Incumbent)	1,210,790	42%
Franken	1,210,028	42%
Barkley	437,146	15%

with 99% of precincts reporting. That means there will be a recount and a serious look at the absentee ballots and....

*VERY BIG SIGH*

eta- As of 6pm the race is 121644 for Coleman and 112167 for Franken so the margin is 477 votes!!!

I was grateful that I don't have to try to explain to my students about recounts this morning. I just hope they don't start asking about ballot measures.

Having to explain it would be really hard.

In MN if there is less than .5% difference in votes there is an automatic recount and right not the difference sits at .04% so there will be one.
