I just don't understand this, Franken Wins Favorable Court Ruling in Minnesota Senate Race.
"A three-judge panel ruled that only 400 absentee ballots — far fewer than Mr. Coleman had sought — should be examined for possible counting. If the ruling stands, it could be devastating for Mr. Coleman, who trailed his Democratic challenger by 225 votes out of some 2.9 million cast and had hoped that nearly 1,400 absentee ballots might be recounted...After seven weeks of deliberations, the court said it would decide which of the 400 ballots would be counted in open court by next Tuesday."
Seriously? 7 weeks to decide to count only 400 of 1400 ballots? There were only 2.9 million votes cast and that was nearly 5 months ago. There are 2,592,000 seconds in a month, do the math. Why can't Minnesotans count?
In 2000 Gore wanted limited recounts and Bush wanted no recounts. If they had done what Gore requested Bush would have won. If they had recounted all the votes throughout Florida Gore would have won. It's an election, get all the vote counts right.
