...million votes cast in the 2008 Minnesota Senate campaign will have been reviewed by hand, a month after challenger Al Franken and incumbent Norm Coleman were separated by just a few hundred votes on Election Day. Franken maintains he's currently in the lead by 20 or so votes, while Coleman says he's ahead by thousands. The reason for the discrepancy: "challenged" ballots, which representatives from both campaigns say need further examination. The two candidates are slicing, dicing and dividing this bulky stack of votes differently so each can claim to be pulling ahead. After the Dec. 5 recount...
...pretty simple too, so the management will often agree.” Pasquariello was later crowned the crowd favorite. Things got even more “awesome and awkward,” as organizer Bill W. Heil put it, later in the evening, when the final contestant, John W. Coleman, spoke intimately with the small group of judges—his potential investors. “We can hang out like a warm shower and get up in the morning and know this wasn’t just a professional relationship,” he said, donning a bathrobe...
...really, there's no such thing as a "filibuster-proof 60-seat majority," even if Martin pulls off an upset and Al Franken wins his recount against Republican Norm Coleman in Minnesota and Joe Lieberman still counts as a Democrat. Senators don't always vote in partisan lockstep; President Barack Obama could succeed in recruiting Republicans on some issues with a 58-seat Democratic majority, and he could find himself stymied by defections on some issues with a 62-seat Democratic majority. In the Senate, even one determined naysayer is capable of grinding the institution to a halt...
...videos on makeshift outdoor screens. On the Malecn in front of a gas station, a band called Aria thrashes out garage rock for a small crowd outside while upstairs at the Jazz Caf a saxophone player named Csar Lpez heats up the stage with squealing Ornette Coleman riffs. More ominous to the salseros is the Riviera, Meyer Lansky's citadel to Vegas chic in Havana. The Cuban-music venue inside is shuttered, but in the front bar, there's house music mmph-ing loudly, and there's a line of wealthy young Cubans waiting to get inside...
...ordered the state's second largest county to turn over to the Franken campaign information on voters whose absentee ballots had been rejected. Ramsey County rejected roughly 750 of the nearly 13,000 absentee ballots submitted, or 5.7%. That isn't much but considering the small size of Coleman's current lead, it could prove to be an important avenue for Franken to close the gap. Minnesota law allows elections officials to count legally rejected ballots if they can determine voter intent. With voter information in hand, the Franken campaign can also try to determine whether a ballot has been...
