1. How many ballots are left?

2. I don't think that anyone knows for sure.

Coleman may be submitting more challenges, I think.

3. The other day someone said that Coleman had ADDED more challenges..

I guess when he saw the thing going into the crapper, he came up with more..(don't know how he did it, though)

The judge today, said they had dealt with 6000..and they still have some in the "blue folder"..that they will deal with on Monday ..

4. Great. He's probably on the phone with Dino Rossi as we speak

asking about more ways to gum up the works and drag this thing out into next year. :eyes:

5. great news

thanks for the update. Ends the day on a positive note.

Coleman is always first to ask the other side to give it up but when it comes to himself, he comes up with more ballots to challenge. What an ass.

6. Does the MN Sec. of State still have to declare a winner by a

specific date, or did the Sup. Court ruling the other day change that?

I don't remember if it was yesterday or the day before, but one of the Journalists on CNN said that there was a specific date when the SOS had to declasre a winner, and even if the recount wasn't completed and/or there were outstanding challenges undecided, the Courts & the Senate always stick with the candidate who was declared the winner on that date. At the time he was reporting this, Coleman was ahead but nobody was willing to predict the final outcome.

7. Is the weather real bad there, why didn't they go to 5:30

like yesterday, not that this is important or anything.

8. From what I've seen on the video link,

they're working hard, and it's been a long week. They seem like a very fair-minded board whose members get along.

Good to see.
