By Mary Turck , TC Daily Planet
November 25, 2008

The State Canvassing Board will NOT count or recount absentee ballots that were rejected at the precinct level. Anyone taking bets on whether there will be a lawsuit from whichever candidate loses the recount?

Counting down to the end of the recount, we have 86.04 percent of votes recounted and 4,740 votes challenged by Franken and Coleman. No result will be final until the State Canvassing Board decides on the challenged ballots. Below: the latest recount details (November 26) and links to more recount news than you want to read.

November 26 recount results, 8 p.m.

Precincts Recounted: 89.64% (3,702 of 4,130)
Percentage of Ballots Recounted = 80.62%

November 4 votes from these precincts were 1,046,101 for Coleman and 1,042,208 for Franken.

The recount totals changed the result to 1,044,255 for Coleman and 1,040,285 for Franken.

The “other” ballots, as recounted, totaled 423,102.

Franken representatives challenged 2,292 ballots, and Coleman representatives have challenged 2,448 ballots. These ballots will be considered by the State Canvassing Board, which will decide whether they should be counted as Coleman, Franken, or “other” ballots.

All recount results are incomplete and unofficial until the State Canvassing Board certifies the final results.

Stories We're Working On

In progress

These are some of the stories we are working on. We invite and encourage you to contribute to these stories, or to suggest other stories that you would like to see covered.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | North Minneapolis We’ll tell you what the judge decides on the flurry of lawsuits around last winter’s Jordan Area Community Council controversy as soon as the decision is made (probably the week of July 6). What do you think about what’s been going on at JACC, in Jordan, and around the Northside? Tell us what you know – and what you think we should be covering.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar park volunteers
Minneapolis parks have recently tightened enforcement of rules about background checks for volunteers. But does the “systemic bias of the criminal justice system” mean that many African American males will be barred from serving as volunteers? We want to hear your ideas.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Hmong Freedom Celebration and Sports Tournament Coming up this weekend! We’re looking for community input about the sports tournament, your experiences at the tournament, how it has changed over the years, what the gathering of Hmong from around the country and around the world means, and any other thoughts you might have about the weekend.

By Dwight Hobbes , TC Daily Planet

The Uptown Pride Block Party on June 26 was an LGBT Pride Week affair, but you didn’t need to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender to get with it. For that matter, you didn’t have to have a dime in your pocket. All you had to bring was the willingness to enjoy a damned good time. MORE »
