1. I really want this! Go, Al!

:woohoo:

[Betsy Ross]

2. Let's hope the trend holds.

Reported on Hardball that the votes counted first were in Dem districts. Raises the question of whether the trend will hold or reverse when Rep areas are counted.

3. Most of Franken's gains have come in Coleman counties...

...due to Coleman votes getting tossed.

5. What are we going to do with you, Betsy?

4. Cheese, louise. Lead narrowed by 1/3, and 2/3 of the ballots yet to be reviewed

Looks like we're headed for a tie, folks!

6. I want Al!

I must add that some Americans are dumber than dog shit. Christ, I had always wondered what the disputed ballots looked like. Now I wish I were ignorant.

7. Never underestimate some people's ability to screw up something so very simple.

You could show some a video of how to vote just before they cast their vote and more than you would ever believe would get it wrong.

8. Wonder no more...

Minnesota Public Radio has actual disputed ballots on their site, and you can be a pretend ballot judge.
